Have you enabled them in the access.conf file?

Here is what I have in mine:

<DirectoryMatch ^/home/.*/public_html>
Options SymLinksIfOwnerMatch Indexes ExecCGI
AllowOverride None
</DirectoryMatch>


You must explicitly enable ExecCGI for user's home directories!
Of course, the handler must be added, like you already did.
