This is a sitemap for your forum, not your entire website and since you can submit multiple sitemaps to search engines, it will help get the more popular threads indexed quicker.

1) Insert a password for people to access vbseo_sitemap/index.php because it's publicly accessible now. (AdminCP -> vBSEO -> vBSEO Sitemap Settings -> vBSEO Sitemap Interface Access Password)
2) Check the value of "Sitemap Files URL" (also in AdminCP -> vBSEO -> vBSEO Sitemap Settings). It should be empty.
3) AdminCP -> vBSEO -> vBSEO Sitemap Reports -> Run Sitemap Generator
4) Check if /forum/vbseo_sitemap/data/sitemap_1.xml.gz is there. If it is then it's a .htaccess problem.
