iojam - Thanks for helping me sort this out. Our replies have been spread over a few pages so I'm going to delete/reinstall and let you know what I've done and what error(s) I'm getting.

First, my forum is in the boards/ directory, it is not in the root directory. Not sure if that's what's causing the problem. Everything seems to be there, it's just looking for it in the wrong place.

Ok, uploaded the contents of the "upload" folder to boards/ directory. Chmod'd the boards/vbseo_sitemap/data/ folder to 777. There is not a .htaccess folder in the forum root so I uploaded the .htaccess file supplied. Imported vbseo_sitemap.xml.

Ok, now in the admincp these are the default selections I changed... vBSEO Installed set to no, Auto-Notify Yahoo set to no, entered password for vBSEO Sitemap Interface Access Password.

Now to Google...

I enter my site as http://www.veggieboards.com/boards/. The seo admin says my sitemap url is http://www.veggieboards.com/boards/sitemap_index.xml.gz so I entered sitemap_index.xml.gz but when I enter that I get a 404 error.

So long story short I guess that's where I'm at right now. When I run the task I see the files being created, I just can't get the right URL in to Google for some reason.
