I'm guessing the built-in template rules are giving you your grief.  If you 
do not supply a template rule for a node that is pushed at your stylesheet, 
then the built-in template rules are engaged and their behaviour is to 
continue processing the tree in a hiearchical fashion.

Instead of pushing the document element of your remote file, only push the 
node in the remote file that you want processed.

I hope this helps.
