As I suspected, this is not an olink file.
An olink file looks like this:

<!DOCTYPE div PUBLIC "-//Norman Walsh//DTD DocBook OLink Summary V1.0//EN">
<div type="article" name="Article">
  <ttl>OLink Semantics in the DocBook DSSSL Stylesheets</ttl>
  <div type="sect1" name="Section" id="OLINK-UDERSTANDING" label="1">
    <ttl>Understanding OLink</ttl>
    <div type="sect2" name="Section" label="1.1">
      <ttl>OLink</ttl>
    </div>
...

There is one <div> element for each division (book, chapter,
section, article, etc.) in your document.
Something is going wrong in your processing steps that
puts the wrong output into your .olink file.  The 
olink/olink.dsl stylesheet outputs <div> elements,
as you can see if you look at the stylesheet code.
I don't see how it could output <fot> etc.

I think there will be another problem, though.
It looks like you want to olink to glossary entries.
If so, the current olink.dsl stylesheet doesn't
record glossary entry information, so olinks to
them won't work.
