Can you actually view the file? Or just see the filename in a directory
listing?

That "Deny" is not related to directory listings which for Apache httpd is
commonly handled by IndexIgnore.

Double check that your Files container is for the entire server and not
just a virtual host.

Also try adding to my example within the Files container:

    Satisfy All

(Are you using Satisfy Any in your authentication?)
