I suspect that www-math@w3.org might be better than xsl-list but
anyway...
the files have _relative_ links to copies of the stylesheet (because oF
IE security restrictions on doing anything else.
Check the files you have downloaded they start something like
<?xml-stylesheet ... href="pmathml.xsl"?>
so you need to either change that to be a relative path to a local copy
of the stylesheet (wherever your local copy is) or make it into a full
path http://www.w3.org/Math/XSL/pmathml.xsl
(IE does allow going from your local disk to the server for the
stylesheet, it just doesn't allow going from one server to another)

Note I really don't recommned this (since it affects an unknown number
of other things besides XSL) I have reworded teh description of the
problem on the website to make it more clear that this was not a
recommended route (although it does work)

aha maybe that's your problem in which case it's not an XSL issue at
all. c:\xxx\yyyy and c:/xxx/yyy are both URI in an unknown URI scheme
"c" that being the part before the : as in http://... ot ftp://...
some windows programs silently correct such bad URI but they are not
obliged to, you should use
file:///c:/xxx/yyy
