Here's what little information I have been able to get.

User is nobody, Group is top40.

I have made user nobody part of the group top40.

[root]# cat /etc/group | grep nobody
nobody:x:99:
top40:x:508:nobody

As nobody I cannot enter the directory where the files are. So I guess 
itmust be a file ownership problem.

>Does it say anything in the error log?

No, just a 403 message.
