Seems like your vhost is working fine, and it is down to permissions.
Reading the error message is a good plan :)
By default the user Apache is running under won't be able to access a folder
in your own home folder - with the exception of /Users/jcorry/Sites which
Apple set up for web sharing.
You easiest (and probably most secure) path is simply to move your files to
/Users/jcorry/Sites/ or /Library/WebServer and adjust the vhost accordingly.
Other than that you'll have to fiddle with permissions on your home folder
to allow Apache access, or mess with groups etc, which I really wouldn't advise.
