So, I found the problem ...

At Richard's suggestion, I got rid of the soft links from, and removed, the /usr/share/fossil directory. The only reason it existed was to house soft links to user repositories in directories private to the user. That was to allow the Apache user to be able to serve private repositories without opening up user-private directory permissions.

Then I changed the cgi-bin scripts for the repositories to reference the user-private directories directly. Opened up the permissions on the repository files. Still the same problem (can't open the -journal file). Once I gave world-write permission to the user-private directory housing the .fossil files, everything was hunky dory. Now I just have to dink around with the groups and such to tailor that breach of the user-private directories.

Also, following Richard's suggestion, I tried accessing $SERVER/cgi-bin/$REPOSITORY/test-env, but it produced the same page that I got without "/test-env" on the URL.
