Well, you proved that the request itself is ok -- if it wasn't it wouldn't work in a browser and you would get a 600-series error. If simplexml_load_file() couldn't reach the outside world, you'd get a PHP error, not an HTTP error code. So: your request is reaching Google and being blocked for some reason, getting a status code of 403 Forbidden. Have you been blitzing the service recently? It looks like your server IP address has been blacklisted. Normally that is only temporary, although "temporary" appears to be 24 hours.
