Ahh, okay.
This is probably pulling the error pages from Cobalt's own error directory.
Mine (RaQ4i) originally looked like this:
ErrorDocument 401 /cobalt_error/authorizationRequired.html
ErrorDocument 403 /cobalt_error/forbidden.html
ErrorDocument 404 /cobalt_error/fileNotFound.html
ErrorDocument 500 /cobalt_error/internalServerError.html

So I'm thinking if you've got a RaQ2 or 3, it was just /error then instead
of the /cobalt_error they've got in the 4 OS.
Here's what I changed mine to:
#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 500 /cobalt_error/internalServerError.html

And it works great. The users just drop 401.html (etc.) into their Web
directory and viola - custom error page.

Hope that helps. And don't forget to restart httpd when/if you do this.  ;)
