FilesMatch problem?

[Knute Johnson <knute2008@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm trying to limit access in a directory to just files that have a .dat 
extension.  The httpd.conf file is stock with the addition of

<Directory "/com/knutejohnson/rrr">
    Options Indexes
    <FilesMatch "\.dat$">
        Allow from all
    </FilesMatch>
</Directory>

I've tried about 8000 other combinations but this is the one I thought 
should really work.  I get "Forbidden" when I try to load it in the 
browser.  I can deny all the .dat files and that works, why doesn't 
allowing them?

Thanks,
