3) The server has AllowOverride set to off, there by disabling htaccess

yes this url loads correctly!

1) the htaccess file/ rule isn't in place
the htaccess is in the root directory. also tested it with the original htacces from vbseo sitemap htaccess folder
2) the server doesn't support mod_rewrite
it is supported because other rewrite work also tested it with the testpage.html rewrite to google.com ...
3) The server has AllowOverride set to off, there by disabling htaccess
i dont know what that and how to enable. i can ask server manager to check it.
