Ernie, Thanks for the info on the correct procedures. Since I had no update notification for xmlsitemap, I thought I was at the latest version in D6. So, once I upgraded, it wasn't until I decided to activate xmlsitemap that I started getting into trouble. For someone who only occasionally needs to do Drupal work, the system does seem pretty finicky and there are so many ways to do things that a load of time can be wasted. But, I know that's the strength of drupal, to be able to do so many things.
I do appreciate the help I get from the community.
Best, Bill

Folks:
I finally figured out how to solve this. I installed siteMap on a virgin D7 site that didn't have any of the xmlsitemap tables. I invoked the module, and saw that it created two tables, much different from the D6 versions. I deleted the old D6 site map tables, and copied the new ones to my site. Then, it worked. I no longer get errors when I do update.php and the problems disappeared.
Boy, some of these modules are finicky!!
When upgrading to a major release make sure that all the modules in the current release are at their most current release. For xmlsitemap you should have upgraded from the latest 1.x series to the latest 2.x series before upgrading to the major release.
If you are removing a module, first disable the module, then use the Delete tab and delete it. This removes the tables, any associated data and marks the system table as uninstalled; you should never remove the tables manually. You can then remove the module from your modules folder on the disk.
