Does anyone have an idea what's wrong..

They are all pages that don't actually exist...
So it's not a problem? What about this then:

They do exist, but if you take a closer look they're pages that only registered users can access (e.g. new reply, rate thread, add subscriptions). Google recommends using the robots.txt file to disallow access to this kind of pages to search engines. There's a very complete sample file within the Google SEO plugin if you're interested...
I see. Just checked the google seo plugin folder and I see a robots.txt file. Should I upload it in root?
Yes, you need to make sure the path to the forum matches though.
The Google SEO robots.txt is just an example. You have to edit it to your needs.
I noticed my sitemap page is displaying a 404 error. Should I try to fix the sitemap or should I just upload the robots.txt file with my site name edited?
Both?

If you use sitemap-index.xml you need a rewrite rule for it. Or you can nix the sitemap url scheme in the sitemap settings and use misc.php?google_seo_sitemap=index
Where are the sitemap settings?
