Problem with verification

[ed9]

I have several sitemaps but 1 of them is causing me a problem.

A condensed version is:-
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset
      xmlns="[external links are visible to admins only]"
      xmlns:xsi="[external links are visible to admins only]"
      xsi:schemaLocation="
            [external links are visible to admins only]
            [external links are visible to admins only]">
<!-- created with Standalone Sitemap Generator www.xml-sitemaps.com (10614) -->
<url>
       <loc>[external links are visible to admins only]</loc>
       <priority>1.00</priority>
       <changefreq>monthly</changefreq>
       <lastmod>2008-08-07T14:45:55+00:00</lastmod> 
</url>
</urlset>

When I try to verify I get this:-

Schema validating with XSV 3.1-1 of 2007/12/11 16:20:05
Target: [external links are visible to admins only]
   (Real name: [external links are visible to admins only]
    Server: 4UH HTTPD Server powered by Apache)
docElt: {http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap/0.84}urlset
No declaration for document root found, validation was lax
The schema(s) used for schema-validation had no errors
No schema-validity problems were found in the target

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Schema resources involved
Attempt to load a schema document from [external links are visible to admins only] (source: docElt) for [external links are visible to admins only], failed:

Not recognised as W3C XML Schema or RDDL: html
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Can you please help, am pulling my hair out, and I dont understand why it is going to google for schemas sitemap 0.84
Nothing I do seems to cure the problem of it not validating.

Hi,

I have sorted the problem. There was a rewrite rule in .HTACCESS that caused the problem.

Great, I'm glad the issue is resolved now.
