You match is saying find all scopecontent elements in dsc. Your if 
statement is wrong on two counts (I think). Firstly, I think the syntax 
is wrong, I think you mean 'node()[@level="series"] or node [@level = 
"subseries"]' but this is incorrect as you are searching for @level in 
scopecontent. You should be looking in c01, c04, etc...

Can you give a more complete and correct example? From what you have 
given us, you should not be matching on scopecontent first, but on c0x 
where x is a number. We need to know more about these c0x elements. How 
many are there, do they follow a pattern? are there any other sort of 
elements in dsc? is there a b0x element?.
