Even more helpful. Isn't troubleshooting FUN!

I had this problem once before, and it was because REMOTE_USER wasn't
being set during authentication. you can try opening up the cgi.cfg
and making one of your users the default, so that REMOTE_USER is
ignored, and see if you have access that way. If that stil fails then
you're likely to be missing a scriptalias in your apache config
somewhere.
