I recall having experimented with vbseo a year ago or so and I did edit the .htaccess in the root then (http://forums.mysite.com). That info is still there in the rewrite rules:

RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vb/vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

Is this the edited version? or the version created when you installed vbseo_sitemap? Don't use the edited one.

No. I didn't say remove the lines from .htaccess in the root. I said remove any sitemap files currently in the root. You need the redirect lines in the root directory version of .htaccess because it will redirect Google spiders when they go there to access them. Leave the lines in an .htaccess file in the /vb/ folder as well (I don't know how you have things set up in Webmaster Central - having it in both places shouldn't hurt and it may help).

It should be unless you've messed up any of the settings. If worst comes to worst, uninstall and then reinstall vbseo_sitemap to get back to the proper settings and then follow the directions given to you during the installation or in the instructions for installation.
