I didn't see this in your configuration, but you have to enable the balancer manager explicitly:

<Location /balancer-manager>
   SetHandler balancer-manager
   Order deny,allow
   Deny from all
   Allow from 192.168
</Location>

Not if using mod_jk and although not specifically mentioned by the OP I assume that's the path he has chosen for the failover/balancing. So the mod_proxy_balancer statements should have been removed from the apache config since you can use one module or the other (meaning mod_jk or mod_balancer) but not both of them together.

The manager will be accessible via following setting in mod_jk:

JkMount /jkmanager/* jkstatus

so the OP needs to create another worker named jkstatus of type status in the worker.properties file. This is described in more details in the Apache Tomcat Connector Reference Guide, workers.properties section.
