user web pages.

I've encountered similar problems in the past, my quick solution was to
issue a chmod 711 on the user's directory..

ie..

http://www.dom.com/~mc

$> pwd
/home/mc/public_html

$> chmod 711 /home/mc

I believe this stems from the default install of Apache running as the user
"nobody" therefore being unable to access/read your public_html directory
