Oh. Think now I've got it. You are running into suexec-problems because 
your Root-Apache is running under anonther user than your V-Host-Apache.

Apache is now using suexec to execute your scripts and because your 
script directory is not part of the suexec-path it cannot execute your 
script.

Why do you need to run your scripts as gevens/gevens?
