I'm pretty sure the config is ok; the following are exerpts from my actual config of all Directory/Location sections. Also, the config works fine for non-SSI accessed symbolic links. For example, if /export/user/bob/www/test.html (owned by bob) is a symlink to /export/user/fred/www/foo.html (owned by fred), accessing /~bob/test.html fails, and a symbolic link failure is logged. However, if /export/user/bob/www/test_ssi.html contains an include (either file=/export/user/bob/www/test.html or virtual=/~bob/test.html), accessing /~bob/test_ssi.html successfully delivers the content of /export/user/fred/www/foo.html via the include of the symbolic link, even though the ownership differs. This was unexpected and problematic for my intended implementation...
