Looks OK.

Any errors in jmeter.log ? Perhaps the xml file could not be found?

You could add a "Save Responses to a File" Post-Processor - this will
store the exact responses from the server in case the Tree View is not
displaying things correctly.

Or you can use a proxy server or network sniffer to see what is happening.

See

http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-jmeter/NetworkSniffer

for some suggestions.
