Does anyone know whether Mac OS Tiger has some additional settings
somewhere that need to be changed to allow the above to work?

Well that works on my test machine. Unfortunately, in the actual application, what I need to do is point Apache to an existing directory on a production server which contains the images I need to use. Moving or copying the tens of thousands of images to the Web server isn't an option. Installing another copy of Apache on the production server isn't an option and opening up the permissions of the entire production server hierarchy to the world isn't an option.

Is there no way to target a specific folder without exposing the entire hierarchy it exists in? Could this be worked around with a custom module?
