Help with XPath query please - on simple XML doc

I have this simple XML document from a webservice

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>

and I'm trying to do this

XmlNamespaceManager manager = new XmlNamespaceManager(xmlDoc.NameTable);
manager.AddNamespace("rdf", "http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#");
manager.AddNamespace("cb", "http://centralbanks.org/cb/1.0/");
manager.AddNamespace("dcterms", "http://purl.org/dc/terms/");
manager.AddNamespace("xsi", "http://www.w3c.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance");
XmlNode valueNode = xmlDoc.SelectSingleNode("descendant::cb:value", manager);
string v = valueNode.InnerText;

to select the value node, but it just returns null. It has been working for months, but I suppose they changed the document in some way (but I unfortunately don't have an old copy).

Many thanks for any tips
