I just realized my blog sitemap does not include any forum items. I have read this similar topic but couldn't find much help so far.
I am running latest WP 3.5.1, SP 5.2.6, Google XML Sitemaps Version 3.2.9 by Arne Brachhold and SP Google XML Sitemap SP plugin version 2.0. The sitemap plugin in SP is enabled and sitemap generation is set to: "Generate sitemap on every new topic".
The sitemap generation works fine for the blog items, but there are no forum topics listed, I believe it was working in the past (months ago?)
How could I fix the problem ?
Thank you.

no known problem currently... its been working fine with no issue.. what version of Arne's plugin? been a few months since we last tested, will have to check if he released another version with some changes...

ran some tests on the latest 3.2.9 version... interesting results... something is different.. but forum stuff is added if you manually build the sitemap from the google xml sitemap options.. if you have the forum put its stuff in once per day, it works... but the option to do it on every post does not...
so will have to investigate what has changed... in the meantime, build it manually or switch to every day vs every post (on any kind of busy forum, the latter is kind of silly anyways, but will see what is going on)...

It's Google XML Sitemaps Version 3.2.9 by Arne Brachhold as I mentioned 
Is there anything you'd recommend me to try so I could debug the problem ?
Edit: I just read your answer in post #3 and I can confirm it does work when setting to "Generate sitemap once per day" and rebuilding manually the sitemap. Hopefully that will be fixed so we have a "Generate sitemap on every new topic" working again.
Thank you.

it does work if you dont have the option for google xml sitemap to build in the background either... so something has changed

Any update on this problem being resolved? I am a new user of Simple:Press, with the following setup:
- XML Sitemap Generator for Wordpress: 3.3
- Wordpress: 3.6.1
- Genesis Framework 2.0.1 (Metro Child Theme)
- No SEO plugins
- Simple:Press 5.3.1
- Simple:Press Google XML Sitemap: 2.0.1
Following the instructions outlined above, I am unable to manually have the XML Sitemap Generator produce a sitemap that includes any page below /forum.

no, we have not yet been able to resolve what changed in their plugin... I see a new release was pushed out today too so will have to investigate...
but as previously stated, if you set the sitemap to build once per day, it will work... its only an issue with updates for each new topic with that plugin in background mode... which is not a good setting for a forum anyways with any kind of traffic since you will be constantly pinging the search engine sites which they dont really like...

I just spotted that my sitemap was having the same issue. I was able to fix it by updating the XML Sitemap plug-in (the WP one, not the SP plug-in) to version 3.3.
I will check it again in a couple of days to make sure that it was not just a one-off creation that ran this evening after the installation.

we have a ticket for the every post issue, but really, for a busy forum, that is too many notifications to a search engines... once per day is much better...
thanks for the input Grant...
