The processor has told you what you are doing wrong. You just don't see it.
This is line 24 in your XSL file. 

<xsl:if test="count(//*[substring-after(@ref,':') = $elementName] = 0">

How do I know this without seeing the whole file? The error message told me so.
The error message says that you have failed to include a closing parenthesis for the count() function. Change the line to read like this and that message will go away.

<xsl:if test="count(//*[substring-after(@ref,':') = $elementName] = 0)">

Note the right parenthesis between the '0' and the closing quotation mark. It isn't in your code and that's why the processor is complaining.

You are missing a closing parenthesis:
test="count(//*[substring-after(@ref,':') = $elementName] = 0"
=>
test="count(//*[substring-after(@ref,':') = $elementName]) = 0"
