I apologize! I was not clear in my posting.

We don't want the actual XML site map file to be indexed in Google's
search results, but we do want the URLs in the XML site map (http://
www.cnettv.com/9741-1_53-0.xml?...editionid_=3&_tilename_=.site-map-i...)
to be indexed by Google. This file was submitted on February 19,
2008.

Currently, this is what Google shows us in our Webmaster Tools account
for the site www.cnettv.com:

Sitemap stats
Total URLs: 12377
Indexed URLs: 0

Here is an example of a site map that did have URLs successfully
indexed from the XML file for www.download.com:

Sitemap stats
Total URLs: 98306
Indexed URLs: 92382

Any insight on why Google is not "discovering" our XML site map for
CNET TV, but has indexed the others?

Thanks!
