I've been doing a little more to isolate the problem...I hashed out all of your www-Authenticate coding from inc/auth.php so as to allow any user access to the admin panel and with that done all seemed to be OK showing that (I think) the problem is only in the www-Authenticate area. I've set the admin with:
username = admin
password = admin
...and reverted it back to your auth.php file. Again I checked the database to see that the MD5 encryption of the password was OK...it is.
If necessary I can put in a support request to my host and see if other users can help on the host's forums but all the coding looks correct to me and I see no reason why it ought not to work properly yet still it does not wish to do so.
I hope the above helps to clarify the situation and may thus be of use to you.
Thanks again,
David
