I've been having a perplexing issue with about 100 new nodes being created every day. I've created a custom logging function and here's an example what I've found:

*path: event/2007/04/month
*useragent:  Googlebot
*backtrace: abgreen_nodeapi:317 <= node_invoke_nodeapi:491 <= node_save:1564 <= _eventrepeat_render_nodes:700 <= eventrepeat_event_load: <= call_user_func_array:203 <= module_invoke_all:983 <= event_calendar_data:1250 <= event_render_day:510 <= event_calendar_month:331 <= event_page: <= call_user_func_array:418 <= menu_execute_active_handler:15

It appears that as google (or any other bot) traverses my site, eventrepeat is triggered to render nodes further out into the future. But for some reason it is also creating these phantom nodes. Thus causing my sitemap to show new content, thus causing google to re-index the site etc. etc.

I'm willing to try and debug this more, but I'll need some direction.

Sounds like this is a duplicate of http://drupal.org/node/86924 and http://drupal.org/node/93256. Check the two patches at the bottom of each of those (one needs a small fix that I haven't had time to get to yet). Sounds like you have a pretty good handle on the issue as well, so if you could follow up on http://drupal.org/node/86924, that would be helpful. Thanks!
