the top 3 relate to your server being down/etc at the time google tried to visit it. Note the old date. These will drop on their own in time.
For the other 3, Make sure you have the first option in the sitemap settings for 'is vbseo installed' set to yes. There should not be ANY showthread.php urls in the sitemap.Brian Cummiskey / Crawlability Inc.

Your sitemap appears to be generating correctly with the correct urls.
I would suggest removing the sitemap, and then re-adding sitemap_index.xml.gz to your webmaster tools area.Brian Cummiskey / Crawlability Inc.

That is likely the default vb sitemap file, which should NOT be used with vbseo (it won't pick up the vbseo'ed urls correctly)
