Not sure, but I think that the file path is relative to *apaches* root 
directory so try without the /www bit


Yup
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html

URLs can begin with a slash (/) for local web-paths (relative to the 
*DocumentRoot*), or be a full URL which the client can resolve. 
Alternatively, a message can be provided to be displayed by the browser. 
Examples:

ErrorDocument 500 http://foo.example.com/cgi-bin/tester
ErrorDocument 404 /cgi-bin/bad_urls.pl
ErrorDocument 401 /subscription_info.html
ErrorDocument 403 "Sorry can't allow you access today"

To people who know too much, it is a sad fact
that they know how little is really possible -
and how hard it is to achieve it.
