Well if you're still up, here's the last piece of the puzzle.

In the /forums directory, I have an htaccess file that has this in it:

Code:

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

What this does is rewrite the sitemap URL for google/yahoo/etc, so when they come in at:

http://www.ninjette.org/forums/sitemap_index.xml.gz

it gets rewritten behind the scenes to:

http://www.ninjette.org/forums/vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1

Since this in the /forums directory is overwriting the one in the higher directory, I am thinking I just move this rewrite up into that higher htaccess file and I'm all good. but when I put it in the higher one, and change it to:

Code:

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

No worky. Am I missing something obvious?

I also tried to just copy the good stuff that was working from the higher one down into the /forums one, but that didn't work well either, but I can see what that wouldn't...
