My config.pl in my conf folder is configured as follows:

-rw-r-----  1 backuppc apache   66391 Dec 10 07:23 config.pl

basically

chmod 640 config.pl
chown backuppc:apache config.pl

What does your .htaccess file in your cgi-bin folder contain? Mine is 
set to authenticate against my Samba domain, but I think yours should be 
something like:

# Your location might be different
AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/conf/passwd
AuthType basic
AuthName "BackupPC"
require valid-user

.htaccess and the passwd file would both be 644, owned by root:root

The keys are as I recall only used for remote access of hosts to backup, 
but could be wrong there. One thing at a time :)
