have you tried this:
<x:parse var="myxml">
<test>
<unit date="20040602142014">
</unit>
<unit date="20040602143809">
</unit>
</test>
</x:parse>
<table>
<x:forEach select="$myxml/test/unit">
<TR>
<TD>
<x:out select="@date" />
</TD>
</TR>
</x:forEach>
</TABLE>
,just to see if it's really an xml problem, or has something to do with the
"updated" var, the fmt tags?

also worked for me, in Jetty (Servlet 2.3/JSP1.2) with far older Xerces and
Xalan version.....
Xerces 1.4.3, Xalan 2.3.1

I changed your example only to make it work more nicely as text output:
<%@ page contentType="text/plain" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="fmt" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/fmt"; %>
<%@ taglib prefix="x" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/xml"; %>
<x:parse var="xml">
<test>
<unit date="20040602142014">
</unit>
<unit date="20040602143809">
</unit>
</test>
</x:parse>
<x:forEach select="$xml/test/unit">
<fmt:parseDate var="updated" pattern="yyyyMMddHHmmss" type="both">
<x:out select="@date" />
</fmt:parseDate>
<fmt:formatDate value="${updated}" pattern="yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss" />
</x:forEach>
And got:
2004-06-02 14:20:14
2004-06-02 14:38:09
So what's the problem? ;-) I used TC 5.0.24 (running in Servlet 2.3/JSP 1.2
mode) with Xerces 2.6.2 and Xalan 2.6.0 installed in common/endorsed. Try
upgrading Xerces and Xalan.
