metadata error

[Jose Reyes]

I am getting the following error in my shibboleth log

Root of metadata instance not recognized: md:EntityDescriptor

I am confused because I thought that the root of the XML instance had to 
be an md:EntityDescriptor instance? What is that error trying to tell me 
is wrong?

This is the beggining of my IdP provided metadat file.


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?><md:EntityDescriptor 
xmlns:md="urn:liberty:metadata:2003-08" 
id="idvccWgWbuaTV3J7.4Ak-76Z9362k"

Thanks!
