This is guesswork since you have not told us anything about what the
input looks like: 

Is one of your input XML files, possibly read via document(),  empty?
This would give rise to this message, but the XSLT may well carry on
to produce correct output.

To fix it you have to put an element into the document, for example

<none/>

this depends on the logic of your stylesheet though.
