It works as-is on Centos 5.5 w/SELinux disabled. Which is why I asked
what is stopping it on your system. It can either be changes you've
made to your httpd.conf or it could be SELinux and you should be able to
tell by the logged error messages.

Your httpd.conf can permit symlinks or not. After that, what happens
should depend on file system permissions and SELinux. If the SELinux
labels are wrong, you can complain to the RPM packager, fix them, move
the files to a place where the default is right, or disable SELinux.
