you could always change apache to run as the user/group that the mount
is set to.
Sorry you had to spend 6 hours hunting down a 2 second fix. Not sure
why no one else suggested this. If it is a local copy of Apache and not
used by anybody else, who cares about what permissions it runs as.
Jim
Running apache as root is quite hard... He was mounting his shares as
root so then apache would need to run as root. And that probably
requires recompiling of Apache. And i provided a quite secure way to
fix, but Mac OS X didn't understand that.
