That is so very wrong, I can't even begin to describe how wrong :-/
You are allowing .htaccess files from / - which means your
performance will be degraded by a good 50%
But you're also allowing *everything* in your .htaccess files,
which poses a security risk.

I don't understand why you're using VirtualDocumentRoot here,
even though it's not a dynamic vhost.

Change VirtualDocumentRoot to DocumentRoot and see what happens.
Check what apache2ctl says, and if that matches your expectations.
Move the VHost declarations, and see if something changes to
apache2ctl's output.
