Thanks for the tip on AllowOverride All; unfortunately, it failed to
fix anything :(

Actually, drive identifiers are a Windows-only "feature" -- on OSX, as
with most *nix-based operating systems (and probably others I'm unaware
of), the basic concept is that of "mount points" -- a physical device
may be mounted at any point in the directory tree. For example, on my
server (running Debian Linux), the root device ("/") is one physical
drive, while all the home directories ("/home") are on a separate drive
(which is actually a RAID). Since I have only one drive (and only one
partition) on my Powerbook, the drive is mounted in the default
location, which is "/".

So, yeah -- I can guarantee that the path indeed exists, and is indeed
an "absolute physical path".
Thanks for your good intentions, but Apache on Windows has a very
different set of quirks from the way that Apache runs on a standard
*nix-like system, so I'm afraid I'm still where I started.
