Gary, Carefully check that the path set for $collurl points to an XML object. The sample code I gave you may require an additional root path.
For code examples, you can look in the code base for examples where "cocoon:" is found. See https://github.com/DSpace/ DSpace/blob/master/dspace-xmlui/src/main/webapp/themes/ Mirage/lib/xsl/core/page-structure.xsl#L468-L494 This is old, but it might be helpful: http://www.slideshare.net/tdonohue/ making-dspace-xmlui-your-own The following wiki page has an overview of XMLUI, but it does not explain how the "cocoon:" protocall works in xsl:document: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC5x/XMLUI+Configuration+and+Customization .
