Try just sticking a plain text/html file there and accessing it at /~bgolemon/, just to make sure user dir is properly configured. I'm also wondering if perhaps Apache isn't resolving user dirs to canonical paths. I.e., instead of resolving to /user/bgolemon/public_html/, it might leave the directory path as simply ~bgolemon. Afterall, a user's home directory could be in different places on different systems, (e.g., /home/bgoleman), so it may just leave it up to the OS to resolve it. If that is the case, then you're Directory tag won't be applied, you would need another Directory tag for "~bgolemon". I have no idea if this is the case or not, but it's worth a try.
