You coould always just use XSLT. Suppose your original XML is more along the lines of: 

<NikuDataBus>
  <Header name="xyz">
    <Customers>
      <customer name="x">
        <address>1313 Mocking Bird Lane</address>
      </customer>
      <customer name="y" />
      <customer name="z" />
    </Customers>
  </Header>
</NikuDataBus>

then an XSLT stylesheet such as this would do the trick: 
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.1"
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" 
  encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes" />

<xsl:template match="customer">
  <xsl:variable name="outFile" 
    select="concat('customer.', @name, '.xml' )" />
  <xsl:document method="xml" indent="yes" href="{$outFile}">
<NikuDataBus>
  <Header name="xyz">
    <Customers>
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:copy-of select="*|@*"/>
    </xsl:copy>
    </Customers>
  </Header>
</NikuDataBus>
  </xsl:document>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="NikuDataBus">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="Header/Customers/customer" />
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
    [ &#91;
    ] &#93;
