Hi,
Here I believe your cgi's are in the kit, so the filesystem does not 
know about vfs...

Besides the fact of having executables under your document root, here I 
believe that you need to register the cgi directory with "Cgi_Directory 
url_directory physical_directory"
Check execute permissions?

Below is an old script we used to use when we could not avoid cgi's in 
the kit...

proc cgikit::map_cgi {cgi_tmp_dir wrapped_dir} {
	#wrapped_dir is what is the cgi directory actually is
	# check to see if running as a starkit
	if {[info exists starkit::topdir]} {
	 if {[info procs ::Httpd_Server] ne ""} {
	set cgi_source  [file join $::Config(docRoot) $wrapped_dir]
	set cgi_dest [file join $::env(TMP) $cgi_tmp_dir]
	file copy $cgi_source $cgi_dest
	Cgi_Directory /$cgi_tmp_dir $cgi_dest
	set  ::Httpd(starkit_cgi_dir) $cgi_dest
	#register callback on exit
	Httpd_RegisterShutdown cgikit::cgi_cleanup
	return "$wrapped_dir directory remapped to /$cgi_tmp_dir"
		}
	}
      }

      proc cgikit::cgi_cleanup {} {
      ###exiting tclhttpd via the SrvUI calls this proc
      ###What to do if exiting from shell, or Control-C???
      if {[info exists starkit::topdir]} {
       if {[info procs ::Httpd_Server] ne ""} {
      eval file delete -force $::Httpd(starkit_cgi_dir)
		}
	}
      }

So on startup of tclhttpd, we call map_cgi, and exit, cgi_cleanup...
