Two things:
1) If your file is XHTML then you'll need to include the XHTML namespace 
declaration and your XPath should include the associated prefix: 
xhtml:html/xhtml:body/... etc.
2) If you just intend to copy all but a specific part then the standard 
practice is to use the identity transform with template overrides for 
elements that you don't need. For example to copy all but div elements with 
a class attribute of hide and their children then use:

<!-- The Identity Transformation -->
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" 
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
  <!-- Whenever you find any node or any attribute -->
  <xsl:template match="node()|@*">
    <!-- Copy the current node -->
    <xsl:copy>
      <!-- Including any attributes it has and any child nodes -->
      <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>

  <!-- Overrides here -->
  <xsl:template match="div[@class='hide']/>
</xsl:stylesheet>

(I've not included the namespace stuff here, check 
http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/N5536.html numbers 13 and 23 for more 
info.)
