There is an extra character being added to the links in the site map.

From the site map
http://www.bmionline.com/store/pc/BASEBALL-IN-APRIL-OTHER-STORIES-2-Cassettes-Unabr-2-45--3p5027.htm

From the site.
http://www.bmionline.com/store/pc/BASEBALL-IN-APRIL-OTHER-STORIES-2-Cassettes-Unabr-2-45-3p5027.htm

Here is the title of the item.

BASEBALL IN APRIL & OTHER STORIES (2 Cassettes; Unabr. 2:45)

It there a way to fix this?

Thanks
Russ

Hi,
Is this occurring on all items?
Is there a space at the end of the product name? - Looking at the code this looks quite likely to be the cause.

Its not happening on all items but there are quite a few of them.

I checked about 20 items there is no space at the end, but they all have either a right parenthesis or period at the end.

And why would the links in the sitemap generator be different than what appears in the store?

PS: Also it seems to only be happening when those characters are at the end of the link that it happens.

This title has both characters but they are not at the end.
