For starters, in your XSLT it should be:

   src="url('{$dynURL}')"

so $dynURL is evaluated rather than the literal '$dynURL' appearing in
the FO.

It's hard to say what else can be going wrong until you confirm that you
have the right URL in the FO, and it would probably also help if you
said which XSL formatter you are using.
