Check to make sure you have suexec defined properly in apache (it's in the apache "work" directory in a folder called 'sources", I think); it's not installed by default, and it will allow .cgi execution outside of normally allowed directories (and UserDir) directories. It has some specific rules that help make it secure. The steps are in the handbook.
