do you have any rss, seo or membership plugins?  looks like something is inserting a blank line at the top which might be throwing it off…  other than that, it looks properly formed…

Ah think I have found the issue after a bit of searching, I’m using a network privacy plugin which only alows access to registered users and this also blocks rss for web readers 🙁  so from your comments it’s got to be this plugin.

 

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Worth noting that SP can handle private RSS feeds via the use the feedkey option.
