    It looks as though you have things set up correctly; that's how I do
    things on my server.  It works fine for me using 1.2b4.  My
    suggestion at this point would be to try it again and immediately
    take a look at your server's error_log, which should have a much
    more complete description of why the *server* thought it should
    return this error.

    You did restart or send an HUP to the server after adding this
    directive, didn't you?  Just checking; that sometimes bites me.. ;-)
