Not sure if I did that right but now my report shows "Yes" for notifying Yahoo when the last sitemap was generated.

Mecho: I set mine to http://mydomain.com (use your actual root domain name) and it changed my sitemap to no longer read that its <LOC> to be in the /forum directory. If I leave it blank then the location seems to default to my forum directory. See example of my sitemap index below. Personally I think this (root) should be the prefered location if you have a homepage like vBa CMPS. Otherwise you are telling Google to crawl starting at your forum directory.
Here is what my sitemap index now looks like:

<sitemapindex xsi:schemaLocation="             http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9             http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/09/siteindex.xsd">
