    That looks fine.. maybe try deleting them all and regenerating.

    Something might have become strange.

    If it still doesn't work, please open a ticket with ftp access for troubleshooting.

    Yeah, the first time I submit, everything is fine then on subsequent crawls the errors start popping up until all site maps are deemed unsupported.


    Ticket on the way.
