For the above fragment to work, CFNumber has to be a child element of a 
child element of CF_DETAILS, but you don't show enough of your data to know 
if this is true or not.

Are you, perhaps, just missing a few steps in your XPath address?  I don't 
think you've given enough information, such as describing what you do see 
that isn't correct, in order for people to comment.

I hope this helps.
