That shows that the sitemap was last downloaded on the 17th (2days ago)... You could try clicking the "Resubmit" button but it may still take google a few hours to a day to download it again.

Ceri

ok sir thanks for reply
it mean sitemap working fine

I'm having the same issue as the OP. I don't really see an answer to his issue.

If I submit the sitemap_1.xml.gz file, it works, but not the index file.
