Try:
Code:
ls -lt  $(date   +%Y%m%d)*.xml | awk 'NR>1'

hideous, but it works
Code:
ls -ltr $(date   +%Y%m%d)*.xml  | head -$(( $(ls -ltr $(date   +%Y%m%d)*.xml | wc -l) - 1 ))

And Bartus' solution above is infinitely better, reminding me once again that I must go through a good book on awk Smilie

Add ... | sed '$d' to your command.

If the desc order doesn't matter:
Code:
ls -lt "$(date +%Y%m%d)"*.xml | tail -n +1
