You're probably running in to SELinux restrictions.  You may need to use 
"chcon" to change the "type" of the files that are the targets of your 
symlinks, so that httpd can read them.

Try "chcon -t httpd_user_content_t" for the destination files and 
directories.

Also, watch the file /var/log/messages.  The kernel should be telling 
you what was denied, and why.
