Maybe the browser is caching the credentials? What do the lines in
access.log/error log look like?

The directory is being served so UserDir is obviously working.

The permissions of the files were not the same in both of Noahs 
posts. 

What user and group does apache run as?
Give us an ls -l of both .htaccess and .htpasswd again, please.
