So what happens when you browse to:

http://localhost/test/.test

???

Your httpd.conf file should be configured to automatically block the
loading of any files that start with .ht.  So you should name the
AuthUserFile something like .htpasswd instead.  Also, it wouldn't hurt to
move this file out of the webtree and put it in another directory that the
webserver has read access to.

<Location /test/>
AuthName "restricted stuff"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /var/www/test/.test
require valid-user
</Location>
