Well I tried all those suggestions, and had no effect.
Then I copied the .htaccess file from the subdirectory into a <Directory> ... </Directory> in the httpd.conf file
erased the .htaccess file.
rebooted the server...
AND IT WORKED!
Go figure.... no idea what was wrong, but I don't care now that it works.....:-D
Thanks for the help!
Thanks!

The file should not be world readable, rather readable by the user
and/or group that apache runs as. The file should generally not be
writable by the apache user/group. So if apache is running as group
'www' then the following permissions would be advisable:
chown root:www /root/SOadmin/.htpasswd
chmod 640 /root/SOadmin/.htpasswd
Also, the parent directories don't need to be world readable, but
only executable to the user/group that apache runs as.
