Dan,
I haven't stopped to research any of this, but some shots in the dark:
Are you sure the problem isn't that Apache can't find H:, not that it just can't
find .htaccess? I have to say I don't like the look of a path in httpd.conf of
just "H:" without slashes. Even if that's okay, it could be that the apache
user can't read the mounted drive for some reason (usually permissions). By the
way, in terms of httpd.conf syntax, I believe paths are expressed with forward
slashes, regardless of OS, so I also don't like the looks of "H:\" in your
Directory block. But maybe I'm just in a mood where I don't like anything that
looks Microsoft-y. ;)
