I don't use htaccess anywhere, but we use things like this in our config that 
work just fine.  You might want to make sure your Order and Allow are set up to 
work correctly.

        <Location /somepath>
                  AuthType Basic
                  AuthName "Restricted Directory"
                  AuthUserFile /some/where/user.pass
                  Require user someuser
        </Location>
