Really sorry, I didn't notice that I'd left the > stuff in, I'd put them there so I could see the xml results on the page. The original script follows the same format you correctly outlined.
I hadn't included the content text/xml in the original script but will try it. Unfortunately I am an xml virgin, having only 1.5 days learning and am struggling with time to sort this out. Logically I can follow it but obviously without the experience I am struggling.
