Hi Kevin --

this unfortunately sounds like a bug -- sorry about that.  I'd suggest 
seeing if you
can patch that yourself, as I'm not currently able to fix this from where
I am, and I'm about to disappear off on holidays for 3-4 weeks ;)

If you can wait, though, I'll fix it at that stage ;)

Another quick hack fix would be to add a chunk of perl code which
gets the content object you want to be the root (using get_content_object()
API), and then sets the internal variable itself!  As long as this code
is run before the <sitemap> tag, it'll work OK.
