That's not Bret's problem.

Look at the settings in the config files in /etc/httpd/conf.  Pay particular
attention to the <Directory> sections that first disallow any access to 
/, then permit access to /home/httpd/html.  You shouldn't do that with a 
symlink, really..

You should add another <Directory> section, then use an alias statement
like:

Alias /doc/ /usr/doc/
