XML in CoreFoundation

Hi, I have an XML file generated by CoreFoundation and written to the
disk. Now I am trying to read that XML in another program using
CoreFoundation again and I can't seem to find the right API for it.
Here is what I have:

Boolean status = CFURLCreateDataAndPropertiesFromResource
(kCFAllocatorDefault, url, &xmlData, NULL, NULL, &errorCode);
CFPropertyListRef xml = CFPropertyListCreateFromXMLData
(kCFAllocatorDefault, xmlData, kCFPropertyListImmutable, &error);

(of course all the variables are declared)

The funny thing is that my xmlData structure is filled with data
(equal to the size of the XML file I am trying to read). So, it seems
like that function worked. Then I want to extract the dictionary
sitting in this xmlData structure and tried to create a property list
from it and cast it to a CFDictionary. Apparently, when I perform
something like CFDictionaryGetValue with a key that I have in the XML,
I don't get the expected value back.

I am not sure what the problem is, can someone provide some sample
code for importing an XML file into CFDictionaryRef?

Thanks

Never mind. I found the problem.
