We have seen this before on NetWare. The reason why NetWare and Win32 return a 403 is because they both use drives and paths separated by a ':' in their file paths and they both share the same filepath.c code. If I remember right, it gets caught in apr_filepath_merge() because of a bad path. Since Linux and others are '/' rooted, the error gets caught somewhere else.
