1000 analogy /export/home/ray/tomcat/logs:

XSL Error: pattern = '$temp-date'
VariableReference given for variable out of context or without definition! Name = temp-date, source tree node: #document
XSL Error: pattern = '/billable/period[@end=$period-end-date]'
Could not get variable named period-end-date
XSL Error: pattern = '$period/@start'
Could not get variable named period
XSL Error: pattern = '$period-start-date'
Could not get variable named period-start-date
XSL Error: SAX Exception

What XSLT engine are you using? Please send me, off-list, a source document and invocation that demonstrates this problem; the transformation sheet works with SAXON and XT, at least.
