Subject: 403 forbiden error from Google
Hello, could anyone help me? I got a 403 forbidden error from google
webmaster tools when I tried to submit my sitemap generated by "XML
Sitemap Generator .
No matter what I do I keep getting this error at google tools:

General HTTP error: HTTP 403 error (Forbidden)

The site looks fine below;

http://www.1powershop.com/sitemapproducts1.xml

What's the problem ?

Could this error be server related?

What gives the 403? The sitemap file or some urls in it?

Your  server is blocking Googlebot it seems.

How large is your sitemap file? I think it's over 1MB so it will be
better if you submitted an .xml.gz version.

I just confirmed it with the server regarding on googlebot, they told
me that they never block it, and I have tested it already, it is fine
for another website.
Is it possible the error was inner google error :-(
Oh, is anybody can provide me more information ?
I am really do not sure what' s wrong with it.
