Cannot run sitemap generator directly: you should set "Run from vB Scheduled Tasks Manager ONLY" to "No" in admincp to allow this.

Do you have "Run from vB Scheduled Tasks Manager ONLY" option setr to "No" in admincp -> Options -> vBSEO Sitemap Generator? :)

Google sitemap links:
http://yoursite/forumsroot/sitemap_index.xml.gz
http://yoursite/forumsroot/sitemap_1.xml.gz
http://yoursite/forumsroot/sitemap_2.xml.gz
... (depending on number of files generated)

Yahoo sitemap link:
http://yoursite/forumsroot/sitemap.txt.gz
