What's a normal XML file? :-)

Maybe that's because there is no cmn:responseStatus in your input?
Maybe you wanted to <xsl:copy-of select="//cmn:state"/> ?

It's easy to lose reason amidst such a namespace horror show as the one
you posted. A horror soap opera, more properly. Really looks like a
parody of SOAP. I counted nine namespaces, two of which are unused.

You may also want to check if you really want <xsl:value-of>, which
extracts the string value, or <xsl:copy-of>, which copies the nodes.

You can get a better answer if you tell us (or maybe the XSL-List at
Mulberrytech.com) what your desired output looks like.
