Evan,
It could be a problem with not getting a mysqladmin reload issued after
the password change,
or, if the form they enter their passwd in is in a different directory
than the one they're redirected to.  If this is the case, you need to
replicate the .htpasswd file into each directory within the secure PHP
DocumentRoot area.
Hope this helps.
