It means that line that the compiler is pointing you at is not the line 
where the error occurs, because the line that you show here does not 
have a string as the left-hand side of the / operator.

Oh, sorry. I see now: this error seems to come from an XSLT 1.0 
processor. But you are using string-join in your original post. Which is 
a Xpath 2.0 function. What processor are you using? Or do you operate in 
backward compatibility mode?
