That guide, and subsequently your XML would make a lot more sense if you were to name the controls inside of your Repeating Section instead of leaving them as anonymous controls:

When you leave the control name blank, the XML generated will use the long guid (the Control's formcontrolid attribute) as the node name, which is fairly impossible to work with. 

Please name all of your controls, and then take a look at that XML. Afterwards, download the UDA from that blog and maybe take it apart.
