The only way I could import into the repo was as root.

No, I think you've got it there Steve :-)
I ran htpasswd as root, so the file will be owned by root.

After creating them I ran
#chown -R apache:apache /srv

I switch it off as part of my initial setup! Horrible thing.

I'll let you know, but I think you have found the problem.

Many thanks.
