Not sure where you are having trouble, but we took the example page you posted elsewhere and got it to work by making two changes:

1. We added a specific user_agent string in the header and
2. We modified the foreach loop to remove the searchResults container. You can iterate through the xml by referring to searchListings->searchListing...
