I'm not good with XML, so I can't help much. spit it out as plain text (rather than XML like I'm assuming you're doing now) and have a look at it. is it proper XML? is anything missing from the stuff you're putting out? anything going wrong or unexpected?

There is no XML version 2.0, only 1.0.

Yeah i fixed that and put 1.0 instead, still got the problem :(
