After debugging this a bit more I discovered that the PolicyFinder was looking for policies in the wrong location, though this was not clear until I actually stepped through the code. It would be helpful if there was some sort of better method of determining when no policies were found, other than simply an NA result. I'm new to XACML, but would it be possible to attach some advice on to this result to indicate no policies were found?

Thanks!
