to all you guys having a problem with this, i did have it working and then it syopped when i recently upgraded apache an i couldn't figure out why. the reason was that my default 401 error page had changed in httpd.conf and i was getting a conflict with the password protected awstats folder, it was driving me nuts until i found the solution. for anyone who can't get it to work add a 401 error page to your html folder and the following line to your htaccess

ErrorDocument 401 /401.shtml

so my working htaccess file is now

Code:

Options +FollowSymLinks 
ErrorDocument 401 /401.shtml 

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c> 
  RewriteEngine On 

  RewriteRule ^awstats(/.*)?$ - [L] 

  # BEGIN WordPress 
  RewriteCond &#37;{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f 
  RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d 
  RewriteRule . /index.php [L] 
  # END WordPress 
</IfModule>

it may look like a stupid solution but if you can't get it to work on your server give this a try.
