This declares a function which takes no arguments.

This calls a function with one argument.  You probably need an
xsl:param in the function definition, such as

<saxon:function name="bcp:fixDate">
    <xsl:param name="date" select="."/>
    <saxon:return
select="concat(substring($date,3,2),substring($date,6,2),substring($date,9,2))"/>
</saxon:function>

(supplying a default lets you call the function as bcp:fixDate() to
use the current node)

Show us the whole thing, in case there is a typo.  Double check the
saxon URI.
