The path should be

right?
I get this error
General HTTP error: HTTP 403 error (Forbidden)
We encountered an error while trying to access your Sitemap. Please ensure your Sitemap follows our guidelines and can be accessed at the location you provided and then resubmit.

No, you should add the htaccess file (or add the rule to your existing file) and submit
Code:
http://www.site.com/forums/sitemap_index.xml.gz
The data/ folder is NOT directly accessible for security reasons (since it's writable, not being callable stops any rogue scripts from running).
