Are you using xsl:document to create separate output files?  That isn't
what it does.  The xsl:document function imports additional XML files
for processing.  What you want is the (very poorly named) exsl:document
extension function.

http://www.exslt.org/exsl/elements/document/index.html

Discussion of this belongs on a dedicated XSLT list, or the EXSLT list,
rather than the libxml2 or libxslt lists.

http://lists.fourthought.com/mailman/listinfo/exslt

Unless, of course, you want to discuss the actual implementation of
exsl:document in libxslt, in which case the discussion should be taken
to the libxslt mailing list.
