Thanks for the response -- I suspect you're right. I was able to do the transform by using the exec task with the xsltproc.exe program. That program is the executable for the XSLT C library for the Gnome project. There are Windows binaries at http://www.fh-frankfurt.de/~igor/projects/libxml/index.html, and it's also available via Cygwin.
Thanks!

The style task uses the xslt processor that ships with the .Net framework. I haven't looked into the details but I think the docbook stylesheets use a number of extensions that may not be supported on all platforms. I don't know what xsltproc is but I'm assuming it isn't using the .Net framework's xslt processor.
