XML DOM Document

I am trying to set a DOM_Document_ with a string using parseXMLstring_ and I keep getting an error
-R-E- DXL: <Line:80> null DOM_Document parameter was passed into argument position 1

My XML looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<dms_current_status>
<dms_success>
<document_number>588</document_number>
<document_type>PRJ</document_type>
<document_version>00</document_version>
<document_part>000</document_part>
<document_dir_url>http://www.someurl.com</document_dir_url>
</dms_success>
<dms_status_list current_status="CP">
<next_status status_code="IW" status_description="IN WORK" />
<next_status status_code="LK" status_description="LOCKED" />
<next_status status_code="OP" status_description="Out For Approval" />
<next_status status_code="OR" status_description="Out For Review" />
<next_status status_code="RG" status_description="RELEASE GENERAL" />
</dms_status_list>
</dms_current_status>

Anyone have any ideas? Is this XML formatted correctly?

Thanks in advance!
