the calculate attribute is described in the 1.1 specs as follows (1):

"supplies an expression used to calculate a string value for the
associated instance data node"

important: a string value, not a nodeset. So, i assume you cant insert
a nodeset into a xforms:instance using bind/@calculate.

The wiki contains an example using xforms:insert:

Another way would be to use a xforms:submission, shown on the same page.
