Question 404 error on sitemap

hello!

I'm assuming it's a 404 error because i just get redirected to the forums homepage. The sitemap seems to be generating ok because the files are in the data dir.

http://www.thebabycorner.com/boards/...p_index.xml.gz

.htaccess is located in the forum root

I have tried changing rewrite condition line to include vbseo_sitemap to :

Code:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|cron|vbseo_sitemap)
mod rewrite is working as I use it across the site and nothing appears to be broken.

here is my .htaccess file:

Code:
RewriteEngine On
#RewriteBase /

#Do not remove these two lines
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
AddDefaultCharset utf8
AddCharset utf8 .html
AddType 'textml; charset=utf8' html

# gzip css, javascript, html file
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f

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

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|cron|vbseo_sitemap)
RewriteRule ^((archive/)?(.*\.php(/.*)?)?)$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^(admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]

</IfModule>

FileETag None

<IfModule mod_expires.c>
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresByType image/gif A2592000
ExpiresByType image/jpeg A2592000
ExpiresByType image/png A2592000
ExpiresByType application/x-shockwave-flash A2592000
ExpiresByType text/css A2592000
ExpiresByType application/x-javascript A2592000
</IfModule>
any ideas?

try chanigng this:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f

to this

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>



That file catch rule seems out of place to me (you have another in the right sport at the bottom already)
