1. XmlStream in your example emits other events than 'data'
2. the endElement handler, is this the right signature? please check the 
doc/code of the XmlStream on this point

besides this points i guess this would work IF XmlStream implements the 
node core Readable:

var xml = new XmlStream(response, 'utf8');

xml.on('endElement: endmarker ', writetoDB);

function writetoDB(input) {
    console.log('i want to arrive here first upon receipt of the xml 
endmarker');
    db.create(input, function(err){
        if(err) {
          // do error handling here
           return 
        }
        console.log('create complete');
        console.log('action this second');
        xml.resume()
    });  
}
