This error message: not well-formed (invalid token) at line 1, column 0, byte 0

is telling you that your xml data has a problem, and can't be parsed as xml. Since you haven't posted exactly what you used as input, I have to ask: does the xml data file that you actually use have a hyphen in front of the first open tag? I ask because the OP data sample has: 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE ICECAT-interface SYSTEM "http://data.icecat.biz/dtd/files.in
+dex.dtd">

<!-- source: ICEcat.biz 2011 -->
-<ICECAT-interface ...

|___ the hyphen there is a problem

When I copied your data sample (and added a couple missing end-tags) and put it into an old xml parsing tool, I always got an error. Removing the hyphen got rid of the error.
