Trouble with Xpath query

[mel_dev]

All,

I'm brand new to XML and have been given a deadline to deliver some new
functionality part of which requires stepping through an xml doc. I
have hit a wall with the way I've structured an xpath query to select
nodes from the xml and would be most appreciative of some assistance.
The beginning of the xml doc looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ClliOutput xmlns="http://hobb.catalina.telcordia.com"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:schemaLocation="http://hobb.catalina.telcordia.com
//production//alltlsxml//schemas//clliOutput.xsd">
<clliHeader>
<returnCode>1</returnCode>
<message>CLONES CLLI found, and the LocateIt System found multiple
exact matches</message>
......
</ClliOutput>

This is the line that I know I just have not written correctly:
XmlNodeList addoutput =
xdoc.SelectNodes("ClliOutput/allAddrOrIntrscts/thisAddrOrIntrsct/AddressOutput/addrSegment");

Because it produces 0 when I write out addoutput.Count.ToString(), but
produces the expected number if I hand-edit the xml document and make
the document's root appear thus <ClliOutput> (stripping out all the
namespace references).

Many thanks in advance for advice!

Regards,
Monica

Absolutely perfect! Thank you thank you thank you thank you so much!
Makes the 5 solid hours I spent yesterday poring through endless Google
Groups posts, MSDN, XML for dummies and god knows what else quite worth
it. Thank you Martin.
