Are you sure the breakpoints are reached? You can try playing with the
test5.xml and test5.xsl from the distribution and see if it works.

There's a bug in the xml mode of PSGML. Add the following in your .emacs:

(defadvice xml-mode (after run-xml-mode-hooks act)
  "Invoke `xml-mode-hook' hooks in the XML mode."
  (run-hooks 'xml-mode-hook))

I haven't tested on emacs 21.1.1, and I have no experience with it. It
would help knowing whether test5.{xml,xsl} work on it.
