You need $anonymous here - you're missing the $. So you granted read
access to a user that's logged in with the username "anonymous", not to
anonymous users. (But I'm not sure why you don't just do "*=r" - any of
your users could get read access by simply logging out).

On a related point... I have a Python script that does "lint" like
checks on Subversion AuthZ files. It would have detected this bug,
since it reads the ".htpasswd" file and would have reported that you're
granting permissions to a non-existant user. Would the Subversion
developers be interested in including it in Subversion?

Kind regards,

Jon
