Oops sorry I was assuming sftp since (correct me if I'm wrong) FC3 only 
comes with sftp.  But yes both users were using sftp in all 
applications.

Yes it is enabled.  I've done the ls -aZ command and everything looks 
right.  The only thing I have done to the directory is chgrp to my web 
group 'www', chmod it to 2775, and chown it to root.www.  I'm not quite 
sure why Apache is complaining.  The other directories I have set up 
with the <VirtuaHost> config don't complain (granted I haven't chgrp, 
chmod, or chown'ed them yet).
