A tip: stop trying to debug using the browser error message. These are at best ambiguous. Go for the actual entry in the apache error log. That will distinguish between a problem with the apache access coditions (denied by server config) and a unix file permissions (permission denied). BTW, for serving plain files, apache only needs read-access. Since the default mode is usually 755, apache should be able to read files belonging to any other users.
