The actual rule has a trailing slash (typo during obfuscation of real location)
    Alias /mydirectory / "/my/actual/location/"

> what URL fails and what's the verbatin error_log entry?
* http://my.servername.com/mydirectory/
* http://my.servername.com/mydirectory/subdir/
(basicaly everything that's a directory at any sublevel fails while any file at 
any sublevel works)

I've tried as directory and it doesn't help. 
On a different Virtualhost in the same configuration, we have an Directory 
matching combined with an alias that works.
After setting it identical for this Virtualhost it still didn't work:

<VirtualHost *>
    ServerName my.otherservername.com
...
    Alias /Logs/ "/my/logdirectory/"
...
    <Directory "/softwp/HTMLpages/Logs/">
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
...
</VirtualHost *>

The main reason it's not noted as a directory is because there's multiple URLs 
with different access control pointing to the same directory.
Putting it on Directory allows directory listing for all Locations which have 
different restrictions.

Additional information:
* httpd version: 2.2.15 (on Centos 6)
* directory pointed to is a link to a directory across a mount
