Yeah, the docs say that, but I had this happen too.  I believe I have fastcgi 
from mod_fastcgi-SNAP-0208192319.tar.gz, apache 2.0.40 on FreeBSD 4.6. 
FastCGI related lines from my httpd.conf look like this:

------------------
FastCgiExternalServer /usr/local/www/data/zope -host 127.0.0.1:8082
      -pass-header Authorization

RewriteRule ^/(.*)
    /zope/VirtualHostBase/http/foobar.org:80/VirtualHostRoot/$1 [PT]

<Location /zope>
     SetHandler fastcgi-script
     Options ExecCGI
</Location>
-------------------

Without a dummy file my httpd-error.log file shows:

------
[Fri Sep 20 10:02:17 2002] [error] [client aaa.bbb.xxx.yyy] (2)No such file 
or directory: FastCGI: stat() of "/usr/local/www/data/zope" failed
-------
(IP address changed to aa.bbb...)

With a dummy file, everything works fine.
