NTriples is an RDF graph serialized in one particular syntax.  It can be 
read by numerous RDF manipulating programs, including Sesame.  It need 
not be RDF/XML to be RDF.

You can stick 'format=rdfxml' at the end of the URL if you want the 
RDF/XML output.

This will be amended to be RDF/XML by default in the next release of 
Piggy Bank.
