Off course, and your're welcome :-)

Baiscally, in your schema, you hadn't described in any way, how a
record was terminated. You had set the default record delimiter on the
root node, but you hadn't described any records that used that
delimiter. I did that.

Well, this one is (potentially) more difficult than the previous one.
Are there ALWAYS exactly two lines? Or can there be some groups with
one record, some groups with ten records, etc.?
these are two very different problems, and the solutions are very
different, one being quite simple and the other being quite
not-so-simple :-)
Let me know what it is, and I can help you more.
