Basically I'm sorry that you though I would be sorry for that other thing, but I'm not.

Its ambiguous, but it seems to expresses the speaker regrets not feeling regretful about the topic, as if to acknowledge that one might (and maybe should) sympathize with the other party, but in fact does not.

Depending on the context, it might also merely express that speaker is an asshole.
