I figured it out. Now I just need to learn SElinux... SELinux was causing the permissions problem, noted that when I "setenforce 0" on the system, everything works.
Anyone have a clue how to fix this? I'll join the redhat selinux forum to see if they can give me an answer...

What OS are you using and how are you mounting the drive? But in any case, this is clearly the same issue as is discussed here: http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/13PermissionDenied It is not a question of Apache not being able to handle the drive, but simply of your permissions being set such that the apache User/Group doesn't have access. As mentioned on the wiki page, you need to check not only /data/holding but also /data. If the User/Group specified in httpd.conf doesn't have search permission (chmod +x) on that directory, it can't get to the subdirectory.
