Okay. These are vhost configs only. You *can* set them globally in
httpd.conf, but they can be overwritten later, so it's best to do it
vhost by vhost.

This depends on where within the vhost config you put them. Apache
should tell you exactly what line of the config the error is on, and
what exactly is wrong with it.

Only because they aren't formatted properly.

This one is wrong because you're pointing a DBM statement to a flat
user file which isn't in dbm format.

This one sets the auth type outside everything else, and provides
multiple names.

Here's a statement that I know works, from my nagios setup at home,
altered for what you're looking to do.
<Directory "/change/this">
Options None
AuthName "Nagios Access"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/htpasswd.users
Require valid-user
</Directory>
