It works as-is on Centos 5.5 w/SELinux disabled.  Which is why I asked 
what is stopping it on your system.  It can either be changes you've 
made to your httpd.conf or it could be SELinux and you should be able to 
tell by the logged error messages.

Your httpd.conf can permit symlinks or not.  After that, what happens 
should depend on file system permissions and SELinux.  If the SELinux 
labels are wrong, you can complain to the RPM packager, fix them, move 
the files to a place where the default is right, or disable SELinux.
