What I want to do is to count the total number of Accrual
nodes that precede the current Accrual node. Both the
siblings of the current Accrual node and any Accrual children
of all preceding Accruals nodes.
Sounds like
count(preceding::Accrual)
or <xsl:number level="any"/>
but be aware that either of these could be expensive

I have tried this:
<xsl:for-each
select="expensys:Lines/expensys:Line/expensys:Accruals/expensy
s:Accrual">
<txn:PSIBS>
<xsl:number value="count(preceding-sibling::*)"/>
</txn:PSIBS>
I cannot use a filter on the for-each loop 'cos AFAICS this
would mean restructuring the whole transform. With my current
level of XSL knowledge that would take an unacceptably long time :-)
Many thanks for any help....

What am I doing wrong?
well you haven't shown any sopurce code, so we have to guess, but
presumably you get 0 bcause there are no preceding siblings.
that is children of the same parent. If each Accruals
element just has
a single Accrual child, then that will be the case.
I know could use "position()", but after I solve this
problem I need to apply a filter to the PSIBS
value.
Most likely you just need to do the filter before you use position.
<xsl:for-each
select="expensys:Lines/expensys:Line/expensys:Accruals/expensy
s:Accrual[some
filter goes here">
<txn:PSIBS>
<xsl:value-of select="position()"/>
</txn:PSIBS>
