Hm. The obvious guess is that you’re providing the wrong password, but I assume 
you’ve ruled that out :)

My second guess is that the server doesn’t send the “WWW-Authenticate:” header 
requesting credentials (CouchDB does this, annoyingly), but you said that your 
challenge callback is being invoked, so that’s ruled out.

If you use ‘curl -i’ to GET the same URL, what does the WWW-Authenticate: 
header look like?
