Since the ArrayCollection can only accept an Array I think my problem is how
to convert an XMLList from an XML object into an Array.

I'm doing wrong. It works in MXML not AS3.
Here is the result from a service call:
public function resultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void {
trace("result :" + event.result);
var myXML:XML = XML(event.result);
var ac:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
ac.source = myXML.menu as Array;
ac.refresh();
trace(ac.length);
linkBarNav.dataProvider = ac;
}

It works fine with this model :
<mx:Model id="menuXML">
<mainmenu>
<menu id="madmin" label="Maintenance" role="admin"
roleAction="hide">
<submenu id="mudacControl" label="UDAC Controls"
link="/das/admin/udacControlMaint.faces" role="base" roleAction="diable"/>
<submenu id="mcmrlUsers" label="CMRL Users"
link="/das/admin/cmrlUsersMaint.faces" role="base" roleAction="diable"/>
<submenu id="mtemplates" label="Templates"
link="/das/admin/templateMaint.faces" role="base" roleAction="diable"/>
<submenu id="mquestions" label="Questions"
link="/das/admin/questionMaint.faces" role="base" roleAction="diable"/>
</menu>
<menu id="mwork" label="Queues" role="base">

link="/das/work/workQueue.faces" role="base" roleAction="diable"/>
<submenu id="missuesQueue" label="Issues Queue"
link="/das/work/issuesQueue.faces" role="base" roleAction="diable"/>
<submenu id="mjbpmNodes" label="Nodes"

</menu>
<menu id="mhelp" label="Help" role="base">

</menu>
</mainmenu>
</mx:Model>
<mx:ArrayCollection id="myAC" source="{menuXML.menu}"
filterFunction="filterMenu"/>
