I believe that Apache dont permit you read files outside from
DocumentRoot.

Humm... make a link from DocumentRoot to /var/reports, clean
and rewrite & alias lines and try ...

good luck!

Example of my rules for rewriting:

	www.<someone>.pucela.org/<any>
to
	www.pucela.org/<someone>/<any>
to
	/var/www/pucela.org/<someone>/<any>
:

<VirtualHost 194.224.8.149>
        ServerName www.pucela.org
        ServerAlias pucela.org *.pucela.org
#       ServerPath /pucela.org
        DocumentRoot /var/www/pucela.org
        ServerAdmin root@pucela.org
        CustomLog /var/log/apache/pucela.org-access_log common
        ErrorLog /var/log/apache/pucela.org-error_log
        ErrorDocument 404 /fallo.html
        RewriteEngine On
#       RewriteLog /var/log/apache/pucela.org-rewrite_log
#       RewriteLogLevel 9
        RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME}      www\.(.*)\.pucela\.org [NC]
        RewriteRule ^/(.*)$             /%1/$1 [L]
        RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME}      !^www [NC]
        RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME}      (.*)\.pucela\.org [NC]
        RewriteRule ^/(.*)$             /%1/$1 [L]
</VirtualHost>

Look: 2 rules, for 2 cases:

	www.<someone>.pucela.org
&
	<someone>.pucela.org
