A couple of ideas OTTOMH:

- try "AllowOverride All" instead of "AllowOverride ALL" (I've never
actually checked whether the arguments to apache directives are case
sensitive. I always type them exactly as it says in docs...)

- try putting the authentication directives (i.e. those in the .htaccess
file) directly into the <Directory> container in httpd.conf (you don't
*have* to use .htaccess for authentication, you know). This will
eliminate the possibility of a problem with the .htaccess mechanism.

- You don't have authentication in place on a higher directory than the
one you're having problems with, do you? You can't nest authenication
realms, in other words.
