I think that error is fairly self-explanatory. There are two possible issues. First, the file might not be in the place where your application is looking or it might not be accessible by the application. Check to be sure that the file path is correct (try printing out the actual path and then browsing to that path using copy/paste to be sure it works and there isn't a misspelling or other simple mistake). Also check to be sure the application has the rights to access this file.

Second, look at your XML file to be sure that it is valid XML. If the application is expecting to read an XML file, it will be expecting a certain format for the file. Just having data inside the <> symbols isn't enough to have a valid XML file. I would recommend that you look at a copy of a working XML file and compare your file to it. Copy the formatting exactly and include the header row. Also, be sure you close any tags you open.
