[xsl] Running xsltproc does not produce any output

["ohaya ohaya@xxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
I am doing some work with a product that produces XML in the syslog output,
and the product configuration allows for specifying an XSLT to transform the
raw XML into text format, and they provide several base example XSLT for
different targets.
I am going to have to modify one of the base XSLTs so I wanted to try xsltproc
(on CENTOS) to test/debug, but when I ran a sample XML output using one of the
base XSLTs, xsltproc doesn't produce any output (and no errors either), so I
was hoping someone might be able to tell me why.
The base XSLT references an additional small XSLT via an "xsl:import".
Here's the base XSLT:

This is the xsltproc command line I have been trying/using which is not
outputting anything:
xsltproc --xincludestyle --path "/tmp/jl/mulberry" /tmp/jl/mulberry/pta.xsl
/tmp/jl/mulberry/auditrecord.xml


I also tried with "-v":

Does anyone know why the xsltproc would not output anything?B  I was
hoping/expecting that it would output text, similar to what I am seeing in the
syslog, when I am testing.
