Just check your template. your template should not have any html tag. It should have only [[*content]] tag... and access this template in your sitemap.xml resource.
thanks for the response,.
I the page set with no template, so it would not have any html. I have this set up on several other sites and I just went through one of them that I know is working and it is matched exactly on setup. The xml page is being generated but not list the pages.
solved... the searchable was not set on the pages themselves undersettings
