Multiple nodes with the same URL problem

I see the error in the Umbraco log to the effect ‘Sitemap Multiple nodes with the same URL’. I recognise this as an issue with site map provider requiring unique URLs.

The node in question is actually a backend record as opposed to an actual page a user will view, and I think it is something to do with the fact that this node / record is encrypted as per a business rule, and then a similar node is recreated with the same name.

A couple of questions: firstly, I don’t actually care about the error as it is not breaking my app, so is it safe to just ignore it?

Also, I’m confused as the URL, as viewed next to ‘Link To Document’ and succesfully, published, cache updated using API (to an encrypted version of the original string) should no longer be in the sitemap? Certainly, in Umbraco itself I see no nodes with same name – I see the old node with the new encrypted URL and the new node with the same URL as the now decrypted version originally had. Is this just case of the sitemap cache being out of sync with the Umbraco cache?

Cheers,

Andles...
