import xml file into sql server table
===

I'm looking for help reading an XML file into a SQL Server 2008 R2 data table. 
    My XML  file looks like this:
        <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
        <e_objects xmlns="http://www.blank.info/ns/2012/objects">
        <item  item_id="41-FE-001">
        <class display="true">
        <class_name>FEEDER</class_name>
        </class>
        </item>
        </e_objects>

        My create table SQL looks like this:
    CREATE TABLE [dbo].[handover_data](
    [item_id] [nchar](15) NULL,
    [class] [nchar](10) NULL,
    ) ON [PRIMARY]
    GO
        This is the SQL I'm using. I can't get it to return any values:
    SELECT xmldata.value('(item[@name="item_id"]/@value)[1])', 'NCHAR') AS item_id,
    xmldata.value('(class_name)', 'NCHAR') AS class       
    FROM ( 
    SELECT CAST(x AS XML)
    FROM OPENROWSET(BULK 'C:\xmlfile.xml',
    SINGLE_BLOB) AS T(x)) AS T(x)
    CROSS APPLY x.nodes('e_objects/*') AS X(xmldata);

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
