It seems that your having your "AuthUserFile" point to the wrong file.
It should be pointing a file named ".htpasswd" in the same directory
that your ".htaccess" is in.  This file will contain the username and
hashed password for authentication.

When I was setting this up for my own site, I found the following
tutorial extremely helpful...

http://www.euronet.nl/~arnow/htpasswd/documentation.html

The author of that tutorial also has a tool to create the hashed password...

Hope this helps...

Joe
