How to replace chars in a string

I'm a complete newbie to this "X" stuff so please bare with me.

I'm trying to replace all occurances of whitespaces in a string. I thought
I could use the fn:replace function but I'm having no luck.  When I try
this:

<xsl:template match="processedIoPoint">
    <xsl:variable name="bar" select="fn:replace(@name,' ', '_')"/>
    <channel type="{@type}" value="{scaledValue}" nameAlias="{$bar}"
uom="{@units}" qualData="{status}" nameChannel="{@channelName}"/>
</xsl:template>"

I get some error about there being no "replace" method that takes
([ExpressionContext,] #STRING, #STRING) as arguments.

I have two question:  Firt off, am I using the fn:replace function
incorrectly
and why is the argument "@name" being taken as an expression context and
not a string?

In any case, can someone tell me how I might solve the problem of replacing
the white spaces in my strings?

Thanks
Dave.
