If adding the authorization requirements in httpd.conf works, but a
.htaccess file doesn't, I suspect you need to change the options that
.htaccess files are allowed to override. 

Checking my httpd.conf file, it looks like the default is to allow
.htaccess to specify auth requirements in home directories, but not the
DocumentRoot. For more details, look at the "AllowOverride" option in
your httpd.conf and the apache documentation.

HTH,
