[Solved] Google SiteMap on 3.0.3 not working as expected

Community,
this sitemap stuff is slowly driving me mad.

I'm using the vanilla google sitemap module.
1) If I call the URL from my FF, I get the XML file back.
2) If I call the URL from the google search console > Sitemap could not be read
3) I added a fwrite to the php code to get a 'sitemap.xml' - testing in google seach console > Sitemap processed successfully
4) I added the sitemap to my cron job > bad idea, errors all over the place

Anyone has a nice work-a-round to make a google sitemap using cron with output to the root folder as single.php file?

Sometimes, you can't see the right tree, when standing in the woods....

The sitemap call itself always returns no result to the google checker - you need to save the sitemap to be able to consum it via google or bing.
