I am trying to convert a xml file into a mesh file. I got the latest version of the converter. There are mesh xml's for an entire program, and all of them have the same result. Please note that I have not made any changes to them before converting.

This is the xml that I'm trying to convert:

I used the exporter and converter to turn a simple cube in Blender into a xml, so I know that the applications are woking. There must be something wrong with the xml. Can you see the problem?
That's not an ogre *.mesh.xml file, it's the wrong format.
There are numerous 3d formats that use xml but are very different internally. There's even several programs that have a format called .mesh but are nothing like ogre (such as some TombRaider games).
Whichever exporter you used is either a generic xml exporter to no particular engine, or an exporter for a different engine that uses xml. You need an ogre exporter, such as this one (for blender): http://www.ogre3d.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=61485

For the life of me, I can't find any program that will import/export these 3d xml's. Are there any out there?
What exporter did you use and which engine is it targeted at?
XML isn't like zip or jpg or mp3 where everything can load it, XML is just a way of storing arbitrary data, only the program the data is intended for can understand it.
It's based on a custom engine from the company Slitherine for a game called Pandora: First Contact. I'm guessing this means that I have to wait until the devs release a modding tool for those xml's. That's a shame because there were some meshes from other games that I wanted to port in there.
