Getting "nested indexing" errors in google webmaster for my sitemaps.

Not sure exactly what that means.

Example:

This Sitemap Index is referenced by another Sitemap Index.

Sitemap: subdomain.sitename.com/sitemap.xml?page=2
URL: /sitemap.xml
URL: /sitemap.xml?page=2
-
Apr 24, 2013
Sitemap: subdomain.sitename.com/sitemap.xml?page=1
URL: /sitemap.xml
URL: /sitemap.xml?page=1

Any ideas?

I ran into the same issue.
Seems that google doesnt like "paginate" xml file.
So I changed
/sitemap.xml?page=1 => /sitemap.xml/1 and now google accept it

What do you mean by "error remain".
What is the content of your sitemap.xml ?

Same error here... Not sure what this error is. Patch didn't seem to work on generation for me though.
