I did find one thing in the vbseo_sitemap_config.php file:

//define('VBSEO_DAT_FOLDER', dirname(__FILE__) . '/../'); // choose this to place sitemap files directly to your vB root

which I un-commented. I'll look to see if it works next time. But - I still have a *serious* issue with the

<changefreq>yearly</changefreq>

for every thread, etc. being marked as a yearly update. That doesn't make sense in a forum where many threads are updated daily, not to mention it shows that the vBSEO Sitemap options in the admin control panel do not necessarily do what you set them to do.
