    Google says sitemap format not supported

    I seem to be having a problem with the sitemap generator. It runs fine and the data is being made. When I logon to the shelll and gunzip one of the files it decompresses correctly and data looks correct. Google though is saying thats its not in a correct format.

    When trying to figure this out I see that when I access the sitemaps through the rewrite rules they are coming up blank.

    For example when i go to mydomain.com/sitemap_index.xml.gz i receive this:

    This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.

    -
    <html>
    <body/>
    </html>
    This means its seeing no data in the xml. Yet when i gunzip the same file on the shell, i see all the data. This same behaviour is happening with all the other files as well. Let me know if you want me to pm you the domain.
