Your problem with Yahoo appears to be that the index.html homepage is getting indexed.

Best way to take care of that is to select your preferred URL and 301 all the other canonical URL's to it.

Yahoo has been having "issues" with 301's so adding the canonical <link> tag to the head of the doc wouldn't hurt.

I didn't look at the site itself but once the 301's are in place, make sure you are consistant with your internal links (external too) and only use your preferred URL.

Proper linking and structure will, for the most part, negate the need to submit a sitemap but that's another consideration as well.
