XML content based routing help

I'm trying to get some XML content based routing working, but having some difficulty. Hoping someone might help me out here.

Here's my xml profile:

profile xml  {
    defaults from xml
    xpath queries "//FirmID"

}

 

I have an irule that has an HTTP_REQUEST block (for other URI-based routing), and then this:

 

when XML_CONTENT_BASED_ROUTING {
    log local0. "XML: $XML_values(0)"
    switch $XML_values(0) {
        "199968" {
            log local0. "send to 10.222.248.20"
            node 10.222.248.20 443
        }
        "199905" {
            log local0. "send to 10.206.23.172"
            node 10.206.23.172 443
        }
        default {
            log local0. "default send to 10.222.248.21"
            node 10.222.248.21 443
        }
    }
}

 

Sample XML:

 

199968redactedredacted872A4C348D18178525641CCD9B570954

 

None of my log statement in the XML_CONTENT_BASED_ROUTING ever trigger. The XML statistics show documents being inspected, but zero matches. What am I missing?

Profile and irule in the comments in better formatting - can't get it to work in this post. No idea how to allow the XML code to be posted.

        }
        "199905" {
            log local0. "send to y.y.y.y"
            node y.y.y.y 443
        }
        default {
            log local0. "default send to z.z.z.z"
            node z.z.z.z 443
        }
    }
}
