XML Error: Only segments are allowed on top level,found non-segment E1EDK03

Question

Hi,
I have a problem in my senario of receiving XML files with a Business Connector (4.7), adding some data to certain segments and elements, do some mapping steps and then convert the XML file to SAP IDoc. Then the IDoc should be send to R/3 system via ALE.
The senario works so far, if I test it with the "Send XML file.." option in the menu "Test" of the Business Connectior itself.
If I try to send the XML data as string in my browser the following error always occurs:
$localizedError:
com.wm.lang.xml.WMDocumentException: Invalid IDocXML document: Only segments are allowed on top level, found non-segment E1EDK03
$errorType:
com.wm.util.coder.InvalidDatatypeException
If I send send a string containing the XML data incl. the data I actually wanted to add in a flow step, it works.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks,
Kai

I had been using MC Internet Explorer until this . Have compared this one to functioning XML viewable with MS Internet explorer. Below is code I am using trying to resolve this problem.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?sap.transform simple?>
<tt:transform xmlns:tt="http://www.sap.com/transformation-templates">
<tt:root name="ecrtas"/>
<tt:template>
<tt:loop ref="ecrtas">
<ImportInstructions>
<ProjectSponsorInstruction>
  <Instruction mode="Add">
   <SponsorName tt:value-ref="SPONME"/>
   <SponsorNumber>
     <IdValue name="Sponsor Number"><tt:value ref="SPONSOR"/></IdValue>
     </SponsorNumber>
    <SponsorType tt:value-ref="SPONTYP"/>
  </Instruction>
</ProjectSponsorInstruction>
</ImportInstructions>
</tt:loop>
</tt:template>
</tt:transform>
Thank you again
