    You should try to resolve all warnings and errors that they provide you. Click through and try to implement the changes they suggest.

    It will likely never be 100%, but in time can get close.

    Here are the errors, I don't know what they mean:

    Parsing error
    We were unable to read your Sitemap. It may contain an entry we are unable to recognize. Please validate your Sitemap before resubmitting.

    All the others say this:
    URLs not followed
    When we tested a sample of URLs from your Sitemap, we found that some URLs redirect to other locations. We recommend that your Sitemap contain URLs that point to the final destination (the redirect target) instead of redirecting to another URL

    Also if I look in my vbseo in vbulletin, and try to open:
    http://legalhelp.org/sitemap_addon_1.xml.gz

    Nothing happens

    Also for my search engine pings, the one for yahoo is always listed as "FAILS"

    Yahoo/bing have disabled their ping servers.

    What addon are you using? If you aren't sure, you should remove any script names from the options panel at the bottom, as the code you are using may be invalid/incomplete/for an old version
