	Those VirtualHost blocks look a lot like what I use although I tend to
also include a CustomLog for each virtual host to keep the logs
separate. If you include that what (if anything) do you see in the log
files?

	I've also made use of the vhost_alias module before as well and used
the following Virtual Host block:

NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>
        UseCanonicalName    Off
        VirtualDocumentRoot /srv/www/%0
        Options All

        ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
        <Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
                AllowOverride None
                Options ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
                Order allow,deny
                Allow from all
        </Directory>

</VirtualHost>

	In this case I then create /srv/www/<hostname> and it's quite easy to
add another virtual host by simply making a directory (or link to an
existing directory) and then adding DNS records for it without having to
make any change to Apache.
