Wampserver 403 on named virtual hosts outside of /www

Question

Wampserver tells me accessed denied when I try making a virtual host outside of the c:/wamp/www/ directory. I can make one fine within that directory. Even making a symbolic link to the folder works, but I would rather not have to use symbolic links. Why doesn't it work?

Here is the code I use at the end of httpd.conf

NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>  
DocumentRoot "c:/wamp/www" 
ServerName localhost 
ServerAlias localhost 
</VirtualHost> 

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName local.cascade
DocumentRoot c:/wamp/www/cascade/
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName local.md9
ServerAlias local.md9
DocumentRoot "m:/Work/New MD9.ca/site/"
</VirtualHost>

<Directory "m:/Work/New MD9.ca/site/">
    Order Allow,Deny
    Allow from All
</Directory>

The "cascade" vh works fine.

I guess I should have looked at the http.conf more carefully. It's not that long, mostly comments. The troublesome part was this.

# Deny access to the entirety of your server's filesystem. You must
# explicitly permit access to web content directories in other 
# <Directory> blocks below.
#

<Directory />
    AllowOverride none
    Require all denied
</Directory>

I commented it out and now stuff works, although I guess it's less secure, but it is just a testing server.

I thought the <Directory "m:/Work/New MD9.ca/site/"> bit was supposed to take care of it but I guess not.
