permissions on symlink/alias

Apache 2.0 on Red Hat Linux (my new toy)

I created a sym link from '/home/jason/Music' to
'/var/www/html/netjuke/var/music' by dragging the folder from one window to
the other and selecting "Link to here." from the contextual menu. I assume
this is the same as issuing 'ln -s ...etc...' from the terminal.

Unfortunately, whenever I try to get netjuke to look in this directory, I
get an error saying the directory does not exist or is unreadable.

I've set permissions on both the original folder and the sym link to 777. I
changed the owner to root. I changed the owner to Apache. No luck.

I checked my httpd.conf file and FollowSymLinks is included in the Options
for the default host. There are no virtual hosts configured.

I also tried creating an Alias in httpd.conf and specifying Allow From All,
just the example in the docs. No change.

What am I overlooking?

Thanks,
Jason
