That's what I figured. I put the file on a beta server and the code on a dev server and it worked.
A followup question if anyone knows (can't find any answers to this online): Say I want to grab the lat/longs from that kml overlay and tie them together with loadFromWaypoints to get directions. How would I go about that? I know how to use loadFromWaypoints but I don't know how to get the data from a "My Maps" kml file in order to pass it to loadFromWaypoints. I saw an example of something similar attempting to get "marker" tags from xml with GDownloadUrl and GXml .parse, but I don't get any markers back when I try it. I think it is because the real kml file is in a NetworkLink tag inside the kml from My Maps, but I'm not sure.
