You are correct, I was using an absolute path.  Thanks for the help!

Unless you're doing absolute xpaths, I don't think you have to have a
Document.

I could easily be wrong, though.  Do your paths start with a '/'?  If so,
that's an absolute path which indeed do require a document.  Otherwise, use
a relative path, and just knock that / off the front.
