New Configuration, access denied on the directories

I recently rebuilt my server and put Mandrake 8.1 on it.
Wanting to use the latest Apache sw i downloaded the 2.0.8 beta version of
the Web Server, I also have the 1.3.22 version available with the same
problems.

When I try to re-establish the NamedVirtual Hosting I was doing on another
server I get access denied on the root directories of the different domains.

When I added a CNAME entry in DNS for the first domain (siteone.com) it
suddenly works?

for instance;

ns1	IN A			XX.XX.XX.XX
www	IN CNAME 		NS1

But if I try to do the same thing with the second domain it still doesn't
work.

Before on the other server previous version, I wasn't using the CNAME
entries in DNS, just mulitple A record entries.
Is the CNAME entry required now?

For the second domain or any additional domains to work, do I have to also
add multiple ServerName entries in the Httpd.conf outside of the VirtualHost
directives.?  That seems to be the only difference.

Any advice would be appreciated, I seemed to have been all through the FAQ's
and Documents on the Apache.org sheet but all of the information i seem to
gleem doesn't work.

Any help would be appreciated.

In the Main Section of the config file I have the server name specified as;

Listen 80
ServerName ns1.siteone.com

For directory permissions I have;
The owner of the directories are nobody.nobody.

<Directory "/mnt/www/pub/siteone">
	Order allow,deny
	Allow from any
</Directory>\
<Directory "/mnt/www/pub/sitetwo">
	Order allow,deny
	Allow from any
</Directory>
<Directory "/mnt/www/pub/siteone">
	Options Indexes FollowSymlinks
	AllowOverride None
	Order allow,deny
	Allow from all
	Addhandler type-map var
	DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var
</Directory>
<Directory "/mnt/www/pub/sitetwo">
	Options Indexes FollowSymlinks
	AllowOverride None
	Order allow,deny
	Allow from all
	Addhandler type-map var
	DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var
</Directory>

The Virtual hosting area of the Httpd.conf looks like this;

NameVirtualHost XX.XX.XX.XX

<VirtualHost XX.XX.XX.XX>
ServerAdmin 	me@host.com
DocumentRoot 	/mnt/www/pub/sitetwo
Servername 		www.sitetwo.com
ErrorLog		logs/sitetwo-error.log
CustomLog		logs/sitetwo-access.log common
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost XX.XX.XX.XX>
ServerAdmin 	me@host.com
DocumentRoot 	/mnt/www/pub/siteone
ServerName 		www.siteone.com
ErrorLog		logs/siteone-error.log
CustomLog		logs/siteone-access.log common
</VirtualHost>

I need to see the exact error message from the error log.

Have you checked the error log?  Have you checked the unix permissions on
the documentroot directories and all parent directories?

Yes I have, it says I dont' have permission to access \

What does "doesn't work" mean?

It says I don't have permmission to access \

The only change between getting sitetwo to display and not getting siteone
to display is the DNS change.
Both sites are in the same directory structure.

Have you checked the error log?  Have you checked the unix permissions on
the documentroot directories and all parent directories?
