From the error message I would guess that you don't have the Return
attribute specified on the Rules element in your instance document.

So, you probably have:

<Rules>
   <Rule>...</Rule>
   <Rule>...</Rule>
   <Rule>...</Rule>
   ...
</Rules>

but you should have:

<Rules Return="...">
   <Rule>...</Rule>
   <Rule>...</Rule>
   <Rule>...</Rule>
   ...
</Rules>

Cheers,
/Eddie
