Use nawk or /usr/xpg4/bin/awk on Solaris.

This also gives error with the first file.
ACCESS_POLICY_MANAGER
nawk: illegal statement
input record number 146, file ACCESS_POLICY_MANAGER

Remove the nextfile statement from the code if you don't use gawk:
Code:
nawk -F"[<>]" '/Product Value/{getline;if(match($3,"GSM"))print FILENAME}' *.xml

Which operating systems are you using?
gawk is GNU awk and you may have to install it if you are not using Linux. On Linux awk is gawk.

zaxxon's approach may fail if the xml files are big. grep has limitation on length of line it can process.
