Funny thing is that URL isn't within the sitemap...yet that is the error google returns.

I'm not sure how you would read the XML file as is online...but I'll export it as an excel file and PM you a link.

- Set up an account with Google Webmaster Tools (if you don't have one already).

- Verify the site per the instructions

- Create a sitemap and post it within your site. I used GSiteCrawler to create and post an XML file in the root directory. (Webmaster Tools has much info on creating sitemaps and various ways to do it)

- Submit the URL to Google via Webmaster Tools

- ....Wait... -;) Google will import the file, index what it likes, and report back as OK, or with errors.

Webmaster Tools can show you what URLs it has found within your site and can even show you how you rank in searches on specific searches.
