Phil, The 'd' in the first column of the permissions indicates that that entry is a directory (or folder) a '-' in that column indicates a file, so those are correct.
The permissions look fine. The index file is readable. I would suspect the issues is either with a hidden .htaccess file in your ~/Sites diretory or something similar in one of the Apache config files. It is Apache that won't allow access to that file, not the file system.
