Data Set XPath Expression doesn't work [message #687969]

The following fragment is a part of an xml file given as source to a XML Data Source

<Rules>
<Rule id="ruleID">
<Stats total="0"/>
</Rule>
</Rules>
<Rules>
<Rule id="ruleID">
<Stats total="10"/>
</Rule>
</Rules>

I use this Data Source to define a Data Set.
In the "Row Mapping" section I want to select only the elements which have the total attribute value not equal to "0";

When i specify the XPath Expression as

/Rules/Rule/Stats[@total!='0']
or
/Rules/Rule/Stats[not(@total='0')]

there are no results.

Note that the expression /Rules/Rule/Stats[@total='0'] works fine.

What am I doing wrong ?

Thank you for your help Rolling Eyes
