Google Sitemap Parsing Error

    I've had nothing but small issues that have taken hours of searching to figure out. I am not sure if its just me, or what, but this hasn't been fun!

    My latest problem is with Google Sitemap. I have the plugin installed, and have just a few things imported (to try and make it easier). I have verified the site through Google's Webmaster Tools. When I upload my gsitemap.php, I get the following parsing error from google:

    35
    Parsing error
    We were unable to read your Sitemap. It may contain an entry we are unable to recognize. Please validate your Sitemap before resubmitting.

    I have tried to uninstall and reinstall e107, cleared the cache, and tried about 20 other things. I have no users banned atm, so the bot is not banned.I cannot figure out why this error is occuring. Any help would be great, because I would love to get my site listed on google at some point. If I go to my site it shows fine and navigates fine, yet problem if I try to upload it to Google.

    So, I just turned off auto-ban (site preferences -> security & protection -> auto ban on/off). I did not have any users banned, but once Auto Ban was turned off, and a few min to update, the submit sitemap on Google worked.
