I think you should have a "AuthUserFile" option in there. Otherwise
Apache wouldn't know any "valid-user".

But I don't understand how you can access the directory, if the
missing option is your problem. My Apache returns a status 500, if it
is missing the passwordfile when the browser tries to authenticate. So
it could be something else.
