I have some forums installed, some are private, but they get added in the sitemap and google report errors because it can't access the url's...
How can I exclude url's from the sitemap?

They should be automatically excluded. What are you using to control access to your forums?

The problem are the OG forums. OG add a forum, which can be accessed only by member subscribed to that group. But they are added to the sitemap, so google tries to access them and get of course a "permission denied".
I did not find anything to prevent a forum or container to be added to the sitemap.

There may be a problem with the OG Forums access control. You can go to admin/content/taxonomy and set the priority of each forum that you want to exclude to "Not in site map".

The problem was that we used a non-standard alias for the term_data table. Fixed in CVS commit 115377.
