Ok.. first off: Is there a user named "glob" in that .htpasswd file?

Secondly, can you check that you have the module mod_userdir.c loading? 
In my install from ports of Apache, my userdir directives look like this:

(Up top with the rest of the modules:)
LoadModule userdir_module     /usr/local/libexec/apache/mod_userdir.so
AddModule mod_userdir.c

(Then down in the host/virtualhost directives:)
<IfModule mod_userdir.c>
    UserDir public_html

<Directory /home/*/public_html>
    AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
    Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec
    <Limit GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND>
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Limit>
    <LimitExcept GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND>
        Order deny,allow
        Deny from all
    </LimitExcept>

</Directory>
</IfModule>

Best,
Glenn
