Don't worry about those stats when they say something normal, you don't want post's URLs to be allowed as they are duplicates, and by the way, the mx Google sitemaps does not output any post URL Wink

As said, there's just nothing wrong with your Google sitemap.

Google tells you things that does not concern sitemaps themselves in it's stats, such as the keyword consideration and such, this is one of those, and it's again normal to disallow posts URLs, an SEO requirement actually Wink
