Comment:

 The error is correct and the plugin doesn't deal with all cases. The
 reason is that the main query still tries to get all the posts and when
 there aren't one it will show a 404.

 I guess it is better to use something like
 http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/google-sitemap-generator/ and then the
 beta.
