Hi all
After finally getting things to work I discovered that I was getting "missing file attributes" and "invalid encoding" messages from google base.
It seems that google are much more fussy about html in the product descriptions than in the past.
I noticed that I had forgotten to use my <p> tags a few times- this was upsetting google but doesn't bother zen.
The easiest way to find the errors is to use firefox to navigate to the xml file (
www.yourshop/feed/whatever_products.xml) and then right click and view source- this way you will get to see the line numbers, reference the line numbers with the errors highlighted by google
