Sitemap exclusion problem

[pandrus]

Help,

Added some parse/exclude items and now am getting this error:

This page contains the following errors:

error on line 2450 at column 22403: Opening and ending tag mismatch: urlset line 0 and url
Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.

[external links are visible to admins only] 0.5 daily [external links are visible to admins only] 0.5 daily [external links are visible to admins only] 0.5 2006-10-30T03:13:08+00:00 daily [external links are visible to admins only] 0.5 daily http:/

....this goes on and ends with:

m/2006/09/12/full-tilt-poker-cap-no-limit-games/ 0.5 2006-10-30T03:13:08+00:00 daily [external links are visible to admins only] 0.5 daily

The things I added to both "do not parse" and "exclude urls" were:
links/
wp-admin/

Hello,

did you manually edit your sitemap.xml file? Please try to re-generate it.

Hi,

Regenerated and here is the message when I try to load the sitemap (i.e. [external links are visible to admins only])

This page contains the following errors:

Hello,

as I see, last-modification date of sitemap is:

Code:

Last-Modified: Thu, 28 Dec 2006 01:57:33 GMT

i.e. it was not re-created correctly. Please remove sitemap.xml from your domain root, create EMPTY sitemap.xml instead of it, set its permissions 0666 and re-generate sitemap again.

[pandrus]

Okay,

Deleted sitemap.xml, ror and gz.

Recreated sitemap.xml empty

set permissions to 666

recrawled.

now getting:

This page contains the following errors:

error on line 1 at column 1: Extra content at the end of the document

--> nothing below that last sentence
