Two points:
- you have to consider (i.e. remove) whitespace characters (newlines)
- Time isn't accessed correctly

Something like this should work:

<xsl:variable name="time" select="normalize-space(Time)" />
<xsl:for-each select="ROWSET/ROW">
	<xsl:if test="substring(normalize-space(Starttime), 1, 10) = $time"> 
           <xsl:value-of select="Body"/>
      	</xsl:if>	
</xsl:for-each>

Regards,
Oliver
