Another thing is even when I have all those settings correct (the rewrite and all that in the .htaccess) it still doesn't put a copy of the sitemap in the host root or the forum root.

It has to be a problem with the .htaccess file. When I delete it, I can see the files in the root directory just fine, upload them to google, etc. When it's there in the root directory I get the vbseo_getsitemap.php not found error.

Try to add this in .htaccess:

^^ He means "RewriteBase /forum/"

I think that may have done it :D

Thank you for all the help!

Thank you again!! Your the best!!

I am using this hack. Recently I am geting below message from my Google Sitemap. How can I solve problem? Pls help me immediately.

URLs not followed
When we tested a sample of the URLs from your Sitemap, we found that some URLs were not accessible to Googlebot because they contained too many redirects. Please change the URLs in your Sitemap that redirect and replace them with the destination URL (the redirect target). All valid URLs will still be submitted.

Hello,
