IE seems to have a problem with returning the correct header for the
XML content-type. You'd have to either have the server force the
content-type text/xml for .xml files, or if generated through a script
(e.g. PHP) have the script set the header content-type when serving
the XML.
I've came upon a Javascript function that can take the returned XML
and make it XML parse-able, but I can't find it. If you do a search on
the jQuery groups, you'll come across a lot of posts regarding this IE
and XML issue.
