Subject: Sitemap errors and warnings
Howdy Folks,

Google has found a new way to confuse things and demonstrate their
data processing problems.  This has been going on for several months
now.

I'm getting the following error message at erratic times:

URLs not followed
When we tested a sample of the URLs from your Sitemap, we found that
some URLs were not accessible to Googlebot because they contained too
many redirects. Please change the URLs in your Sitemap that redirect
and replace them with the destination URL (the redirect target). All
valid URLs will still be submitted.

It sometimes cites a URL that is not in the site map and the page is a
single "Refresh" redirect.  All of the others it fusses about are a
single ASP redirect.

Resubmitting the SiteMap.txt file seems to clear the errors and then
within a week they crop up on other sites I monitor.

Thanks, Chris
