As stated in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555266, you need to pass xml data as NText.

You can query an XML variable as follows:

DECLARE @PeopleXml XML
    SET @PeopleXml = '
    
    James
    28
    
    
    Jane
    24
    
    '
--  put [1] at the end to ensure the path expression returns a singleton.
SELECT p.c.value('Person[1]/Name[1]', 'varchar(50)')
FROM @PeopleXml.nodes('People') p(c) -- table and column aliases
