What to do: The link is forbidden! This needs fixing. Usual
suspects: a missing index.html or Overview.html, or a missing ACL.
Response status code: 403
Response message: Forbidden

Well, the usual cause for this (at least that is what I misremembered,
checklink now explicitly states robots.txt issues) is that your
robots.txt blocks it. So I tried to download your robots.txt too look
at it.
For some reason this caused your server to seen a 200 response code
('OK') along with an HTML document containing a 404 message. You should
probably fix this.
Anyway, if we try to make a request to that URI (lines starting with a
%% are ones I typed. The %% should not be typed, or appear at all) ...
%%telnet www.mcgoodwin.net 80
Trying 66.148.48.228...

After some more fiddling I tracked it down to the HEAD request. For
some reason only GET requests are allowed for the sitemap. You should
probably fix that.
