Friends,
Thanks for sharing this as I could resolve the problem following the tips here.
Wow, finally it is done.
Thanks a lot,
I got something still hosed up.
If i leave AIO SEO enabled on the forum page with the input fields blank it puts the spacer correctly between the blog name and the forum page title.
If i add a title, description, and key words to the blog page SEO it breaks the SEO for the forums themselves.
Disabling AIO SEO plugin takes me back to where the blog name and page title are run together without a spacer.
So for now i have AIO SEO enabled on the forum page with the title, description, and keywords blank. and the forums appear to be entered into the title line..
Whew. I’m beat. Tomorrow is another day. Night all. 
good news Jay!
FidoSysop, leave the title, description and keywords empty on the wp page aioseo fields… then go to forum – components – seo and enter the description and keywords you want for the forum there…
I would recommend filling in the custom description and keywords… then under Meta Tags Setup, select the ‘Use custom description on main forum page only, use forum description on forum pages and use first post excerpt (120 chars) on topic pages’ option…
Also, if you are using the SP tags plugin, I would suggest selecting the option to override the custom meta keywords with the topic tags on topic pages…
Thanks, Mr Papa..
Everything is looking good on my end.
Was just looking at my Google Webmaster Tools acct and the sitemap is showing all submitted urls are indexed.That’s a good thing.. 
I think it’s also a good idea for anyone not using a WordPress sitemap generator to try Google Sitemap Generator Plugin for WordPress by Arne Brachhold. I like the idea that it includes SP Forums URLs too, in conjunction with the SP Google Sitemap Plugin.
