Are you perchance using UserDb for the acl_users folder? I just
submitted a report to the guys at Digicool regarding this problem
with UserDb a few days ago. Specifically that 'View' 'Access contents
information' and 'Use Database Methods' are required to be available
to Anonymous at the root folder in order for UserDb authentication to
work.

Haven't heard back from them.
