SSIS XML source root attributes missing

When I add a XML source and point it to s XML file I am trying to load I do not see the root attribs.

I have tried the local create XSD as well as Trang (nice command line tool)...

In either case I get the three other elements but not the root.

Here is the top of the XSD.. 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" elementFormDefault="qualified">

  <xs:element name="Company">

    <xs:complexType>

      <xs:sequence>

        <xs:element ref="Positions"/>

      </xs:sequence>

      <xs:attribute name="AsOfDate" use="required" type="xs:NMTOKEN"/>

      <xs:attribute name="Date" use="required"/>

      <xs:attribute name="Description" use="required"/>

      <xs:attribute name="GeneratingSystem" use="required"/>

      <xs:attribute name="ImportID" use="required"/>

    </xs:complexType>

  </xs:element>

  <xs:element name="Positions">

    <xs:complexType>

      <xs:sequence>  ....... and so on.. 

I am trying to get at the AsOfDate.. 

Now i did see a way to maybe use a XML Task... but these files are large and the task seem to scan the whole file.. which takes way to long..

It really seems like a bug within the XML Source component... 

Please tell me there is a faster / better way..

Thanks.
