Martin, Thanks for the pointer. I did previously try the way you pointed out but it gave me the same error. Which kind of confused me even more. I understand your side note and the concept. The reason I am using rss_feed action instead of index.rss is because in my controller, the index is a authentication restricted whereas the RSS feed is a public access. Maybe I need to rethink my approach.
Thanks Eddie for the link. I took a quick look and it looks similar to what I was doing. I'll check it in greater detail shortly. Appreciate both your inputs.
