Sorry, that explanation is wrong/muddled. The test will evaluate to true if
the PB_ITEM has no child USER whose string-value is the same as the
string-value of the USER element that immediately precedes the PB_ITEM
element. In particular, it will evaluate to true if the PB_ITEM is not
immediately preceded by a USER.

But the solution I gave was correct (assuming I understood the requirement).
