A very elementary thought but....you don't have a top level (tblc.org/)
or directory level (barcodes) .htaccess file that's preventing access do
you? There's also a httpd.conf equivalent of this but I don't remember
what it is. The behavior of being able to see the index page of
barcodes but not access a file in it directly is exactly what I set up
on one of our sites with an .htaccess file.
