I found the problem and wanted to let the list know in case anyone else 
runs into this... This is default behaviour if one uses the horde.conf file 
provided in the Horde WIKI for CentOS here: 
http://wiki.horde.org/CentOS5InstallationNotes?referrer=HowTo
<http://wiki.horde.org/CentOS5InstallationNotes?referrer=HowTo>  

the file has this section:   

# Deny access to files that are not served directly by the webserver
<DirectoryMatch
"^/var/www/html/horde/(.*/)?(config|lib|locale|po|scripts|templates)/(.*)?">
    Order Deny,Allow
    Deny from all
   </DirectoryMatch>

 Adding - Allow from "my Ip address" in this section fixes it.

I can access the Configuration page now from my home office.
