Are the files in the directory readable by others? The Apache server  
generally
runs as a special user, if that user doesn't have read access to the  
directories
and files, it will not be able to find the files.

Also, do you have an appropriate Alias directive to map URL namespace to
that actual directory, or does that directory lie under the document  
root?
What is the actual URL you are using?
