Setting the PATH should probably be done in your batch file:
SET PATH=c:\rubberducky\xslttools;%PATH%
This sets your own dir for xsltproc ahead of the rest of the system's paths (i.e. %PATH%).
You can also set it permanently via "Start => Control Panel => System => Advanced => Environment Variables" and then edit the paths similar to above.
I use a batch file to set all of my XSLTPROC command line parameters so I can use the same parameters every time. I'm not as young as I used to be and don't remember command line switches that I don't use every day.

I found Windows path names so odd, that I stayed with Java,
which lets me use / as the path separator, hence reducing
the complexity.
Basic advice. Use a setup that has *no* spaces in all the pathnames.

I haven't used xsltproc for XSLT transforms, just Daniels software
for xInclude.
I will try and do a shell script version of my setup, but I doubt
it will be ready in the next day or two.
(Then it's liable to be bash, I doubt I could get a Windows setup
working with the Dos shell!)
