Google Error on sitemap download

For some reason just recently, or at least, since I the last time I checked, Google webmaster tools is showing an error on downloading my sitemap files.

The error I get is very odd, as I've checked the sitemap files and they do contain URL's but maybe it's not what they think it is, I honestly have no idea.

Error:

Empty Sitemap
Your Sitemap does not contain any URLs. Please validate and resubmit your Sitemap.

I've verified permissions (0777 on data and 0666 on contents of directory). The URL submitted is

Code:

http://www.allthingsmoto.com/forums/sitemap_index.xml.gz

I'm at a loss as to what could be causing this.

I did generate about 4 times today trying to get this to work, but none of it seemed to help.

Thanks as always for the stellar help.

Your Sitemap does not contain any URLs. Please validate and resubmit your Sitemap.

Is it reported for sitemap_index.xml.gz sitemap file or another one? (sitemap_1(2,3..).xml.gz)

Actually it says it for all the sitemap_1(2,3...).xml.gz files. I don't recall it actually saying the index had any problems.

The entries in your sitemap index are linking to:

Code:

http://www.allthingmoto.com/forums/sitemap_1.xml.gz

instead of:

Code:

http://www.allthingsmoto.com/forums/sitemap_1.xml.gz

if you have changed "Sitemap Files URL" in the options, make sure that it has correctly spelled domain name.

Woo hoo, Oleg to my rescue once more.
