[xsl] problem with key

I am trying to upconvert from a flat-file. After I get it into XML form I
try to add hierarchy using "key".
-------------
OUTPUT
-------------
I get NO results from
<SubPossibilities>
            <xsl:copy select="key('SemanticDomainByParent', '$parentSD')"/>
</SubPossibilities>

so output looks like
<SubPossibilities/>

So what am I doing wrong?
