Why is apache refusing requests to www.mydomain.org if mydomain.org is working fine?

virtualhosts

This is the setup I have working for mydomain.org:

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
  ServerName mydomain.org
  ServerAlias *.mydomain.org
  DocumentRoot /var/www/
</VirtualHost>

If I request www.mydomain.org, apache throws a 403 with the following appended to the log:

(13)Permission denied: /root/.htaccess pcfg_openfile: unable to check htaccess file, ensure it is readable

I've tried changing ServerName to www.mydomain.org, and changing ServerAlias to www.mydomain.org as well with no luck.

What am I missing?
