Hi,
it could be one of two things, the path may be incorrect or you do not have AuthPAM_enabled off

here is a .htaccess file that I use.

AuthUserFile /home/groups/home/web/extranet/Clients/myclient/.htpasswd
AuthName "Client"
AuthType Basic 
AuthPAM_enabled off 
require valid-user

The path is from / to the location of the .htpasswd file.

When you are in the same directory at the .htpasswd file do a "pwd" (without the quotes) from the prompt to get the path.

HTH
