It's a shame though that Google doesn't support blocking their bot with a robots.txt rule, yet still feeding it a sitemap of what you want crawled.

Though this is more a limitation on Google's side than a bug in my script; my script was coded as a way to feed valid links immediately to Search Engines to get content in there NOW from a fresh import versus having to wait for it to be naturally crawled.
