I'm running FC2 at the moment, and I just duplicated what you did (even 
changed the perms to match your /space/vhosts/  dir), and it worked fine 
for me. Can you try to run '*system-config-securitylevel' and turn off 
SELinux for the httpd daemon and try it again? If it still doesn't work, 
run '**system-config-securitylevel' again and turn it back on.

Let us know what happens.
