Yes, but only if you put vbseo_sitemap folder off of your /forum/ directory.

if you use Cloudrunner's setup then no, it does not need that change.

The remaining part is incorrect as Cloudrunner pointed out. It should point to sitemap_index.xml.gz. You will experience no problems with sitemap_1.xml.gz, as long as you set you do not have multiple files to upload.

On a different note - this unfortunatelly does not work for Y! as when the Y! tries to grap
http://www.yoursite.com/vbseo_sitema...sitemap.txt.gz
It gets redirected to
http://www.yoursite.com/vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1

Of course, if you rename the file sitemap.txt.gz (to say yahoo.txt.gz) and move it to root (or at least out of the vbseo_sitemap folder), than submit that file - Y! will happily accept it.

I think...

Finally, there is a problem with using vBAdvanced pages.

That is, when following Cloudrunner's notes, regular vBA pages are submitted without the root URL

For example:

<url>
  <loc>index.php?pg=bmr_calc</loc>
  <priority>1</priority>
  <lastmod>2006-12-17T19:32:05+00:00</lastmod>
  <changefreq>daily</changefreq>
</url>

As you can see the root is missing. Everywhere else it is proper.
