In your config.php, make sure your “mod_rewrite” line says false:

$bb->mod_rewrite = false;

Permalinks are not supported on your host, at least not right now. Change that line to false (maybe you have slugs or true there now?) and it should work fine.

If things work like that, you can figure out the proper mod_rewrite rules for your .htaccess file.

BTW – those are not real folders, they’re just URLs created by bbPress that look like folders. They won’t be in the filesystem.
