First off, I'd grab version 3.1.0b4 if you only have 3.0.8b2. You'll
probably appreciate the speed boost and bug-fixes, if nothing else.

        -u username:password
               Tells htdig to send the supplied username and password
               with each HTTP request. The credentials will be encoded
               using the 'Basic' authentication scheme. There HAS to be a
               colon (:) between the username and password.

So it comes down to this... Is the server running Basic authentication
(database or file), and does the server accept the username and password
when you access it through another browser?

If so, send me a run with "-vvv" instead of "-v" so I can see why it's not
working.
