Stephen,
First of all, thanks for your help.
I knew it was an easy fix. My lack of RexEx knowledge was shooting me in the
foot.
mod_dir is now loading when Apache starts.
I changed my code in the VirtualHost block in httpd-vhosts.conf to look like
this:
</VirtualHost>
[...]
# list of redirects
RedirectMatch ^/$ /home/index.html [R]
</VirtualHost>
And that did it.
One last question, though. This fixed my redirection for just this virtual
host. Do I need to repeat this in each virtual host on the server, or can I
put the redirect code in another location so it will apply to all virtual
hosts on this server?
Thanks,
Darren

Given that you want the modified URL to appear in the browser, you need to
perform a redirect. A redirect with added slash for directories is what
mod_dir does (and I'm sure it will be there in a default install).
See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_dir.html

The string that the rewrite rule matches does not include the hostname, so
you just need to match ^/$
(If you do want to test the hostname, see RewriteCond)
