Jeff Thanks for your feedback and idea. I have eventually found that when you switch on NameVirtualHost then Apache needs r-x permissions on all the folders in your tree.
I was running under /home/tomcat/tomcat3/webapps... and had mode 744 on all directories except /home/tomcat (700 as you would expect) Just so very odd given that a) tomcat is accessing this area - was running under user tomcat b) Apache without the VirtualHost turned on was able to work fine.
