First of all, I just created a sitemap but it says 

<!--
Google Site Map File Generated by http://www.sitemapbuilder.net Fri, 22 May 2009 06:40:23 GMT
-->

What is that all about? Also, it only shows about a dozen top level links whereas I have hundreds in the website. I tried going to content and updating xml manually node by node and they do reflect in the xml output.

Something seems very wrong. Please advise. Thanks. Kevin

You are using the Drupal XML sitemap and not http://www.sitemapbuilder.net to generate your Drupal site's XML sitemap correct? Because we aren't the authors of http://www.sitemapbuilder.net.

I see I had an old sitemap.xml file in my directory created by another application about 5 months ago. I guess this module does not overwrite an existing sitemap.xml file if there is one. I physically deleted sitemap.xml and everything is OK now. Thanks for the heads up. K

BTW, I've added a xmlsitemap_requirements() check for this in the 6.x-2.x branch:

  if (variable_get('clean_url', 0) && file_exists('./sitemap.xml')) {
    $requirements['xmlsitemap_file'] = array(
      'title' => $t('XML sitemap'),
      'value' => $t('Existing sitemap.xml file found.'),
      'severity' => REQUIREMENT_ERROR,
      'description' => $t('The XML sitemap module cannot display its XML output if there is an existing sitemap.xml file in your website root.'),
    );
  }

Committed #4 to 6.x-1.x CVS. Also discovered the hook_requirements() implementation was named incorrectly.
