Linq to Xml noob question

Question

I'm trying to parse an mvcSiteMap, I've got most of it working, but my where clause it not right. it always returns the row that the where clause should be excluding.

nodeTitle = "Bulk Order Request";

XElement xelement2 = XElement.Load( filePath );
var urlDescList1 = (xelement2.Descendants()
    // Select node with 'Favorite Social Sites'
    .Where( node => ( string ) node.Attribute( "title" ).Value != nodeTitle )
    .SelectMany( node => node.Elements() )
    .Select( node => new
    {
        title = node.Attribute( "title" ).Value,
        url = node.Attribute( "action" ).Value
    } )).ToList();

I get the same number of Rows returned whether the where clause is there or not. it's like the where clause is always true, even if the title element of the outputted lsit contains "Bulk Order Request" as its' title

I'm sure I'm doing something Obvioulsy stupid, but I can't see it.

Thanks,
