First thought:  you have

         LoadModule auth_module modules/mod_auth.so
and
         AddModule mod_auth.c
in your httpd.conf globals section correct?

Second of all, on win32 with apache, ALL PATHS are using / where the \ 
would go...  so always use forward slashes.

give that a whorl.

P.S. I just finished getting apache set up on my domains, it takes a little 
work, but is very flexible!
