google says sitemap is empty but it isn't
« on: August 13, 2009, 03:12:14 PM »
when I run the Standalone XML Sitemap Generator everything seems to work okay, the sitemap.xml is generated and I can see the URL's, but when I try to add it to google webmaster, I get an error: Empty Sitemap
Your Sitemap does not contain any URLs. Please validate and resubmit your Sitemap.

but I can see it's not empty.

does anybody know why I get this error?

Here's some of the output:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset
      xmlns="[ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]"
      xmlns:xsi="[ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]"
      xsi:schemaLocation="
            [ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]
            [ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]">
