Get Updates via RSS - Facebook SyndicationErrorFeed

I'm trying to import the RSS from a Facebook page to my website, but when I click on "Get Updates via RSS" on the left side of my page, I'm getting this error:

http://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?id=142648432496996&format=rss20

       <access:restriction relationship="allow" xmlns:access="http://www.bloglines.com/about/specs/fac-1.0" />
     </rss>

It's does not seem to be consistent. I tested this "Get Updates via RSS" on other pages, it works with some and does not with others (same problem).

I try to check the page permissions, but I didn't find any permission configuration for a page RSS.

Remove 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

from the results. If you're trying to get and parse the response, this line interferes. Currently going through the same trouble, but I've figured it out to the point that I need to get the pages avatar.

Basically, for RSS feeds with valid XML (which you can tell by the formatting/colors when viewing the feed in a browser) you can parse.

But the fb feeds add this line to the top: 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

The first line needs to be the 

<rss xmlns:content="

line.

Are there any geographic / demographic restrictions on the page? If there are, you probably won't be able to syndicate it
