Sitemap contains urls which are blocked by robots.txt under Google Webmaster Tools

Tag: seo,google-webmaster-tools,google-sitemap

Really frustrated. It is because of technical errors or Google's cache effect? Do I have to wait for a few days more?

I have been updating my robots file and sitemap to Google Webmaster Tools several times since last night. But each time I resubmit the sitemap, it keeps saying:

Sitemap contains urls which are blocked by robots.txt.

It seems that all URLs in the sitemap are blocked. Examples:

http://janwawa.com/en
http://janwawa.com/en/
http://janwawa.com/en/album

This is my robots file

User-agent: *
Disallow: /admin/
Disallow: /cgi-bin/
Disallow: /qsystem/
Disallow: /piwik/
Disallow: /webpublisher/
Disallow: /en/quotation/
Disallow: /th/quotation/

This is my sitemap
