I stand corrected.

In addition to read/write access to the file itself, Apache must have at
least eXecute (directory listing) permission to the directory containing
that file.

/home being owned by root is not the issue -- But if it's not something
the apahce user can 'ls /home' and get the contents of, then you've got a
problem.
