Hi Jim and thanks for your response - there is nothing in robots text blocking images.
As you are aware Images folder is in the root and I doubt that Googlebot would index every image in the folder as it contains all manner of images so I can only assume that Googlebot will index images from the Products pages - so I don't know if there is any instructions in the sitemapproducts.xml telling Googlebot to look specifically for images in the products sitemap - I somehow doubt it but it is strange that normally images show up in Google Webmaster Tools in sitemaps in addition to url's with a graph showing how many submitted and how many indexed. This is happening as it should with 5 of 6 of my sites but not with one in particular - only url's submitted/indexed - no mention of images at all.
Any ideas?
cheers, Mike
