I am not able to reproduce this. The command you gave creates an XML
file called "file" for me. Does the above command cause XML output or
normal output to be written to standard output for you?

If you have a typo in the command that might keep the file from being
created. If you type "-oXfile" instead of "-oX file" then Nmap will
write normal output to the file called "Xfile". If you somehow have
"-oX -" in the command then XML output will be written to standard
output.
