Strange cpath= value in access logs

Hi all,
I just set up a google sitemap_gen script. I configured the script to generate the url list based on the server access logs. After the sitemap was generated, I was browsing through the url list and noticed some strange cpath values as follows:

http://www.thetoolspot.us/index.php?cPath=rhgfytzugnalguvn
http://www.thetoolspot.us/index.php?cPath=spysycuyjaq
http://www.thetoolspot.us/index.php?cPath=xumhzprhqmhn

I verified that these urls were in fact in the website access log files. Anyone know where these values could have come from?

Never rely on your access log. thing is, i can try to access whatever url i want on your site, regardless the urls exist or not.

Thanks yellow,
Just to clarify, are you recommending that I not use the access logs to generate sitemaps, or to just not necessarily rely on the information found in the logs?
I actually used this method because the google documentation recommended using this method for dynamic websites and I wanted to have the process automated. Then again, I don't want a bunch of garbage filling up my sitemap either. I've put filters in place to keep most of the unwanted stuff out, but I'm not sure how to avoid this type of thing getting in there.
If your recommending to not use the access logs, what would you recommend using for automating the process?

There are several modules in the download section to help you generate sitemap. Access log can be used for other purposes, just not very good for using to generate sitemap.

I will look into those.
Thanks again!
