It is very likely that dbtimestamp is not evaluated at all in this case.
<?dbtimestamp?> is evaluated during XSLT transformation when it's
template is called by using xsl:apply-templates. If you put
<?dbtimestamp?> into location of document on which xsl:apply-templates
is not invoked then you will get nothing in output.

You can add custom preprocessing step which will evaluate
<?dbtimestamp?> and otherwise just copy original document into your
pipeline.
