This is probably not the answer you were looking for, but it is an
alternative that you might find useful.
In /etc/httpd/conf/srm.conf

At the bottom you'll find a section on ErrorPages. You can change this so
that you don't need to use the .htaccess method - but of course this
probably voids your warranty so be advised.
Here's what mine looks like; I left the originals intact but commented out
in case I needed to put them back, and I left the 500 error intact for
better debugging of scripts.

#Changed so that users can automatically set their own error files without
#using an .htaccess file. Original lines are commented below for debugging
ErrorDocument 401 /401.html
ErrorDocument 403 /403.html
ErrorDocument 404 /404.html
#We leave 500 as-is so that people can better debug scripts

#ErrorDocument 401 /cobalt_error/authorizationRequired.html
#ErrorDocument 403 /cobalt_error/forbidden.html
#ErrorDocument 404 /cobalt_error/fileNotFound.html
ErrorDocument 500 /cobalt_error/internalServerError.html
