if you're referring to the filename (and location) of my .htpasswd (users) file, yes, it's all lower case and spelled correctly...but again, I'm not even sure that it's reading my .htaccess file. Is there some way that I can make that determination?

From the Apache manual...
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/howt ... .html#auth
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/howt ... gitworking

There has got to be some small things that is not exactly right that is causing this failure. The whole *nix environment seems to work that way, from case sensitivity to authorizations, the littlest thing can prevent something from working correctly.
