Perhaps the Edition of Excel in the standard edition is not the same as that
in the Professional edition. From help on xmlmap:

Note XML features, except for saving files in the XML Spreadsheet format,
are available only in Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003 and
Microsoft Office Excel 2003.
