Your site isn't requiring authorization to commit -- that is, you
haven't put

        <LimitExcept GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT>
            Require valid-user
        </LimitExcept>

or something similar in the <Location> directive. (See the INSTALL
file for details.)

Since no httpd requests are requiring authentication, they never
discover who the user is, hence the "anonymous" in your logs.

Yup, see above :-)

I don't know what effect the `Require' has when it's at the top level
of a <Location> block like this (i.e., not inside a <Limit> block).
Perhaps it has no effect?
