I have a configuration file that works, and the main difference to
yours is that I *don't* put LimitExcept around my 'Require valid-user'
directive. I think you are deciding to allow completely anonymous
users to do the operations that are needed for checkout, so maybe
Apache never challenges for authentication in the first place?

Try getting rid of it.
