   As I think a sitemap.xml is important for any website I got the latest sitemap plugin for bbpress here:
   http://plugins-dev.bbpress.org/browser/bbpress-sitemap-generator/trunk/bbpress_sitemap.php

   I edited this bbpress_sitemap.php on line 16 to look like this:

   $sitemap_file = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/sitemap.xml";

   as my bbpress is installed in the root folder of a sub-domain, the sitemap.xml should also be in the root.

   After changing the reference to the location of this file (sitemap.xml) I uploaded bbpress_sitemap.php to the new created my-plugins folder.

   Before enabling it I created an empty file sitemap.xml in the root of the forum and set the rights to 777.

   I enabled the plugin and to trigger the sitemap creation just opened one post and saved it. With FileZilla ftp client I could see that the previously empty file now increased in size - it was successfully created

   Still get problems with empty links to tag pages however...

   If the sitemap has empty referrers to some pages it could help on bbpress-0.9.0.4 to edit the bbpress_sitemap.php.

   part of sitemap.xml before editing bbpress_sitemap.php

   <loc>://</loc>
   <lastmod>2009-02-11</lastmod>
   <changefreq>monthly</changefreq>
   <priority>0.2</priority>

   and the same after editing:

   <loc>http://forum.go41.de/tags/sidebar</loc>
   <lastmod>2009-02-11</lastmod>
   <changefreq>monthly</changefreq>
   <priority>0.2</priority>

   What to change in bbpress_sitemap.php Version: 0.6.1:

   in line 122
   get_tag_link replace with bb_get_tag_link
   in line 138
   get_tag_page_link replace with bb_get_tag_page_link

   this helped to get the correct link to tag pages in the sitemap
