Some things to check would be: 1. Within the Directory directive, check the AllowOverride statement. It must contain the AuthConfig directive-type.
2. AccessFileName needs to be .htaccess if that's the name of your file. 3. Have to reboot the server too :-) If you haven't seen it already you might want to look at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/howto/htaccess.html. Good advice on the use of .htaccess files.
