We have several XML related cmdlets in Pscx (
www.codeplex.com/pscx ),
one or two of which take XPath expressions. I think it's Select-Xml.
Since it's a cmdlet, we're not succeptible to the path munging you're
seeing in your provider.
On the other hand, have you investigated using provider-direct paths?
if you prefix a pspath with \\ it will not be pre-parsed by powershell
and you *may* be able to work with relatively clean looking xpath
paths. Give it a whirl, and if you get it working, feel free to donate
it to Pscx ;-)
The problem you're seeing is because you have left in the default
implementation for GetItemDynamicProperties(string) which is probably
a "throw new NotImplementedException()" statement. Just replace that
statement with "return null;"
Hope this helps,
