I am getting tons of Google errors/warnings from my site's XML sitemap. Google says:

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.

HTTP Error: 301 (Moved permanently)
URL: http://www.hollywoodchicago.com/taxonomy/term/3472
URL: http://www.hollywoodchicago.com/node/1537
Problem detected on: Oct 9, 2008

See how those links are redirecting to http://www.hollywoodchicago.com/movie-review/derek-haas and http://www.hollywoodchicago.com/images/1537/the-bank-job-2 respectively? The XML sitemap appears to not be t picking up the pathauto (SEO friendly) URLs.

The XML sitemap tool doesn't let me exclude certain URLs and I don't know how to make the XML sitemap pick up the correct pathauto URLs. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

I just upgraded to the latest XML Sitemap module and it appears to have fixed the issue. I don't know why, but it did.
