Clement,

please ignore my earlier email. After replying, I tried the instructions 
myself on a lucid server, and found that there are some confusing / 
incomplete instructions out there.

Bottom line is, at least on Lucid, you need to use the 
"AuthDigestProvider file" and the "AuthUser" directive to point at the 
digest password file, rather than the "AuthDigest" directive.

My clue was this thread on the Ubuntu forums:
http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-157415.html

I wrote a HOWTO on the Ubuntu Community wiki:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Apache2WebDavDigestAUTH

Hope this helps you get going.
