Session ID's - xml sitemap
Hi I have a problem with my zen cart and my sitemap.xml and also possibly search engine spiders.
Basically my sitemap.xml file is picking up zen cart session id's and logging them in the sitemap.xml file. I'm unsure at this stage if search engine spiders are picking the session id's up, however I would think if the sitemap is picking these up the search engines will be too.
I have checked under Configuration/Sessions in the admin and the 'Prevent Spider Sessions' is set to true which means that techincally these should not be being picked up or going into my sitemap.
If you go here

You will see the problem.
Also this is happening when I try to use the zen cart sitemap module.
I have another sitemap which has all the correct url's in it and that is being submitted to google daily. However that has in effect been created manually in order to at least get all my URL's into google. Problem is that isn't happening which I suspect is down to the session ID's.

The url takes you back to the homepage all the time because it in effect doesn't exist. Techinically I would have thought it would give a 404 however this is not the case.
Can anybody help with this?
Nick
