AuthConfig is the argument to the directive. You need to check for 
"AllowOverride"....

going back to your original config... Can you try:

        Require valid-user

instead of:

        Require user libregeek

Also, grep for "Satisfy" in any config files (check the docs for why this can 
be a problem).
