Ok, this turned out to be an Apache question. You need to use an Alias
to tell apache what dir to look in, despite what the browser is asking
for. And, <Directory> to allow the access. The following code goes in
apache's httpd.conf config file, in my case, under the line that says
<IfModule mod_alias.c>

Alias /test/ "c:/my documents/_websites/guava/private/test/"

<Directory "c:/my documents/_websites/guava/private/test">
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

That will make it so <img src='/test/image.jpg' > gets the image from
the private dir, not from a folder in the web root. Works for .js,
..css, whatever.
