Your config looks fine, e.g. here's mine:

v t (pu) $ sudo ack SCGIMount /etc/apache2/
/etc/apache2/sites-available/localhost
6:    SCGIMount /RPC2 127.0.0.1:1337
v t (pu) $ ack scgi_port ~leech/.rtorrent.rc
scgi_port = localhost:1337

And my scgi requests work fine.

$ xmlrpc localhost system.listMethods | head -n 3
Result:

Array of 479 items:

Try seeing if the relevant ports are open, check your apache error log etc.
