Google Webmaster Sitemap errors when using feed redirection

Google Webmaster tool throws out crawl errors whenever a blogger redirected feed (one example is Feedburner) is used as a sitemap.

Not found
Restricted by robots.txt


The solution to it is to add a no redirect flag to the url that is going to be use as a sitemap.


Example:
http://iamsamer.blogspot.com/atom.xml
Change to>
http://iamsamer.blogspot.com/atom.xml?redirect=false
Or
http://iamsamer.blogspot.com/atom.xml?redirect=false&max-results=100
for better Listing
