Sounds like you XML parser doesn't provide namespace information. You may have to enable that feature. What XML parser and XSLT implementation do you use? FOP is by default using Apache Xerces and Xalan which work fine.
I use the software pretty "out of the box" so they're Xerces and Xalan. Here's what it outputs when I try to process xml-fop/docs/examples/markers/glossary.xml:
D:\Java\tools\fop-0.20.5rc\docs\examples\markers>fop glossary.xml glossary.pdf
[INFO] Using org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser as SAX2 Parser
[INFO] FOP 0.20.5rc
[INFO] Using org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser as SAX2 Parser
[INFO] building formatting object tree
[INFO] setting up fonts
[ERROR] Unknown formatting object ^glossary
[ERROR] Root element must be root, not :glossary
As you can see, I'm using a Windows box... The command fop is a batch file which just executes "java org.apache.fop.apps.Fop %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8" (had to do it this way due to the lack of command aliases in DOS). I haven't altered the files (glossary.[xml|xsl])...
