I'm sure I'm missing something simple but here's what I've done:

I added the iFinity.DNN.GoogleSiteMapProvider.dll and iFinity.Utilities.dll to the Website\bin folder. 

I added the following line to the  <configSections><sectionGroup name="dotnetnuke"> section:
  <section name="googlesitemaps" requirePermission="false" type="iFinity.DNN.Modules.GoogleSiteMap.GoogleSiteMapSection, iFinity.DNN.GoogleSiteMapProvider" />

I added the following line to the  <system.web><httpHandlers> section:
   <add verb="*" path="GoogleSiteMap.axd" type="iFinity.DNN.Modules.GoogleSiteMap.GoogleSiteMapHandler, iFinity.DNN.GoogleSiteMapProvider" />

I know I am using IIS6 but I went ahead and added this line in the   <system.webServer><handlers> section:
<add name="SitemapHandler"  verb="*" path="GoogleSiteMap.axd" type="iFinity.DNN.Modules.GoogleSiteMap.GoogleSiteMapHandler, iFinity.DNN.GoogleSiteMapProvider" preCondition="integratedMode,runtimeVersionv2.0" />

Am I missing anything? I am not utilizing the other features at this time.

I get an error message when trying to generate the GoogleSiteMap.axd:
 

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

 Thank you so much for your help in advance.

I also added
  <googlesitemaps defaultProvider="BaseGoogleSitemapProvider">
        <providers>
        <add name="BaseGoogleSiteMapProvider" type="iFinity.DNN.Modules.GoogleSiteMap.GoogleSiteMapProvider" defaultPagePriority="0.5" defaultPageUpdateFrequency="daily" includeHiddenPages="false"/>
     </providers>
  </googlesitemaps>

No change.

 I added the following line to the  <configSections><sectionGroup name="dotnetnuke"> section:
 

This is in the wrong section.  It should be outside the <sectionGroup name="dotnetnuke"> section.  The relative position of this entry dictates where the <googlesitemaps> entries should go.  If you put the top reference inside the name="dotnetnuke" group, the lower definition has to be inside the <dotnetnuke> section.  The way I have laid it out in the instructions means that the <googlesitemaps> section needs to be outside the <dotnetnuke> section.

Thank you so much -- that's definitely a start. I modified it based on your post (and a triple check of the intructions you provided) and I do get different results. Still an error, though. I'm sure i'm still missing something simple. I'm not sure if it matters, but I have a web farm set up for DNN and I am using DFS for file replication.

That error indicates a problem with loading the correct sitemap provider.  Normally that would be in the web.config entry for the default sitemap provider, which is the first in the list.  Also check to see that you have all the correct files copied into the bin directory.
