For the above fragment to work, CFNumber has to be a child element of a
child element of CF_DETAILS, but you don't show enough of your data to know
if this is true or not.
Are you, perhaps, just missing a few steps in your XPath address? I don't
think you've given enough information, such as describing what you do see
that isn't correct, in order for people to comment.
I hope this helps.
