It's an edited line I appended to an existing .ht in http://forums.mydomain.com
I'm pretty sure vb/ needs to be added to the path, otherwise it points to the non-existing folder http://forums.mydomain.com/vbseo_sitemap It is http://forums.mydomain.com/vb/vbseo_sitemap ?

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).

You mean in vb's ACP regarding VBSEO? The default values.
