Aside from the error itself, it's not clear how you are hosting things 
at /idp/pub like that. Not saying it's not possible or allowed, but I 
think you're assuming we know the technical details of what you're 
doing, and I don't think we do.

It's not clear to me what piece of software is raising that error...  
But the XML error itself is pretty clear.  In that XML document you 
apparently don't have a namespace declaration for the shibmd prefix.  
On the document root element, or at least on some ancestor element of 
that shibmd:Scope one, you must have an attribute like below.  Standard 
XML namespaces stuff.

xmlns:shibmd="urn:mace:shibboleth:metadata:1.0"
