If you request /xymon/ it's doing this:

/home/xymon/server/www/

Can you namei -m /home/xymon/server/www/ and make sure the permissions are
there?

Apache has it set to allow as per

<Directory "/home/xymon/server/www">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes MultiViews
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>
