I'm not sure what you are asking here, but the SMF bridge needfs to be set up as follows.

Install and set up Mambo (4.5.1) in a directory (maybe the root?)
Install and set up SMF (1.0 RC2) in a directory (usually forums, or community. SMF does NOT need to be installed in a sub-directory of mambo, and I would suggest that it NOT be)

make certain your admins have the same username and same password in both Mambo and SMF.

install com_smf in Mambo components
install com_smf_registration in Mambo components.
install mod_smf_login
copy MOS_SMF.php to yor SMF/Sources directory
edit the template.english.php string file, login string.
add the code to your mambo template <head>.
unpublish your mambo login module
publish your smf_login module

add a menu item pointing to a component, choose Simple Machines Forum.

SMF is not installed as a component or a module in Mambo... SMF is a separate PHP software installation. The BRIDGE is the components and modules that you must install in mambo.
