Sitemap Not Reflecting Entire Site...?

Hello,

I have a site with a forum, a news section, and an articles section.  Only the forum section seems to be showing up on the sitemap.  The other sections are not there.  The sections not showing up are powered by Wordpress. 

The sites are located in my site like:

www.mydomain.com/forum/
www.mydomain.com/articles/
www.mydomain.com/news/

Any idea why they're not in the sitemap and how I can get them to update?

Thanks.

By the way, now I notice when I view it in the software's interface via the the "View Sitemap" tab it comes up fine, but when I try to view it directly at the sitemap.xml it shows an error:

QuoteXML Parsing Error: junk after document element
Location: [ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]
Line Number 25, Column 2:   <div class="tborder" style="margin-top: 0;">

XML-Sitemaps Support

Your homepage (domain.com) is redirected to the forum (domain.com/forum/), so your forums URL is assumed to be a starting page and all URLs outside of the forum folder are not crawled.

Oooooooo-kay, well that's not very helpful.  I'm not sure why your software has to assume that.  So how can I fix it so they get crawled without moving everything from where I want it?  Will it work if I use a different kind of redirect?  Or add some code someplace?

You can create a small start.html page in domain root with a html link to your forum and specify [ External links are visible to logged in users only ] as starting URL.

Specify it where?  How do I do that?

That didn't work.  I even put specific links for the parts of my site not being mapped and it's still not crawling them.   >:(
