are you sure the
a) url in the file is correct (to be interpreded as a relative url when 
executed from the fo file)
b) your xpath is selecting the correct element?

In particular the examples you have posted in this thread have been very 
inconsistent

in various messages you have:

select="data/photoimg"/>
<photo>/RPT/0000718.jpg</photo>
<fo:external-graphic src="'url({photo})'"/>
<Photo>/RPT/0000718.jpg</Photo>
select="/data/Photo"/>


ie selecting <photo> or <Photo> and selecting a data child of the 
current element or the top level element, which must be called data, of 
the input file.

since I think I've only seen fragments rather than a runnable example 
hard to know, but make sure, that the generated fo file has
url(/some.path.to/a/picture.jpg)
and that the path is either absolute or if relative, correct relative 
the fo file when that is interpreted by the xsl-fo renderer.
