Isn't it a FAQ?
The values are XPath expressions. If you want to set a string value, you
have to use «--param my-global-param "'the-value'"» for example, or
«--param my-global-param \"the-value\"»

Also, be sure to have a top-level <xsl:param name="my-global-variable"/> in
your stylesheet (they are commented out in your example)
