This is wrong. You can't use {} in any select attribute.

Try instead

<xsl:apply-templates select="document(@docname)/*"/>

PS. Note /* after document() function call. It's very easy to get 
infinite loop without it:

<xsl:template match="/">
   <!-- Infinite loop! -->
   <xsl:apply-templates select="document(@docname)"/>
