Ah OK. I still don't like them poking around my files without my expressed permission. If it shows up again I'll contact my web host.
Thanks for clearing it up for me.

It's a standard feature in cPanel now, I believe. The command points web crawlers to the sitemap Attracta creates for you. It'll re-inject it if you mess with those settings again.
