I looked at your site with Xenu Link Sleuth - it's just like a search engine 
bot.

There are a number of broken links but anyway, they have jsessionid attached to 
them, this is because you have set cookies to false!

You need to set cookies to true, set cookies to true and try it again with Xenu 
Link Sleuth.

There is *no harm* in giving this a try. You can't be sure until you try.

 Set cookies to true or leave off the cookies attrbute, then check with Xenu 
Link Sleuth or some other bot simulator.
