A couple of possibilities.
First, one of the directories in the path has an owner/perm combination
that forbids nobody (or whatever user apache runs as on your system)
from executing a file in it.
Second, you do not have a <directory> declaration allowing scripts to
be run from /Weekly/CHARTS/. In access.coinf add somethig like:
<Directory {path to /Weekly/CHARTS} >
AllowOverride None
Options ExecCGI
</Directory>
