Google just hit our site and all the 404 errors (which turned into 500 errors for another reason) got me digging into the problem....
We serve our askbot instance from a subdirectory url (like /forum/questions instead of /questions)
The correct setting for that is
ASKBOT_URL = 'forum/'
And this works well for all of the urls except the feeds url. The feeds url seems to be hardcoded to /feeds/rss in our installation.
I can see in the askbot/skins/default/templates/main_page/tab_bar.html (link) that there is a conditional that says {{ feeds_url }} while other links use the {% url namehere %} approach
I found a fix for it in trunk. https://github.com/ASKBOT/askbot-devel/commit/fabf920337849c83107df3817ae1c350c41fd414
