A two second google search on xml to csv found many entries which show 
how to convert a xml file to a csv using xslt.  This way you could 
easily import your files into filepro.  
http://www.scit.wlv.ac.uk/~jphb/xml/xmlcsv.html is an example.  You can 
even find java code to do the above which would obviously run on either 
win or *nix.

Again take a look into xslt which sole purpose is to transform XML 
documents into other documents (like XML, HTML, and plain text).
