That's how the original author has instructed you to install this hack.
putting the vbseo_sitemap forum inside your vbroot which in my case is /forum

Yes only thing that needs to be changed is the name of the file as cloudrunner has mentioned. however if you have anything less than the number of maximum links set in the option then you will only have one file and the above will work just fine. works for my forum as it's new and has around 15000 links in the sitemap.

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 disagree, it's working flawlessly for me and Y! has no problem getting the file.
if you have set ur .htaccess as I mentioned in my prev post every request for a file with the word sitemap will be redirected to /forum/vbseo_sitemap/ folder where the file is actually located and therefore google or Yahoo would not have any problems getting the file. no need to put the file in the root.
