Please always cut and paste the output of your session including the precise
error message and traceback, rather than paraphrasing.  Usually this is
much more effective at helping us find the problem.

In this case, I can see at least one problem: your XML processing
instruction is incorrect, as it does not end with the proper closing
sequence of "?>".  Try '<?xml version="1.0"?>' instead.  Not sure
this will help, but it's at least the first problem.
