Xpath issue with simple importXML query

Question

The following is not returning any data in a Google spreadsheet, even though the //h1 xpath query verifies OK using Chrome's XPath Helper extension:

=importXML("http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/1118358708","//h1")

What am I missing here?

That's importXML("amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/1118358708","//h1"). Not sure why importXML("rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/1118358708","//…) is displayed. — whuffo15

Very strange -- the importxml works fine for the amazon.co.uk site ... — whuffo15
