nagios 3 authorization/authentication issues

I'm more than a little confused here...

Have just installed Nagios 3.0.4, and I have it popping up its web page,  
etc.
I edited the cgi.cfg file to make sure that nagiosadmin is authorized to do  
just about anything it needs to (authorized_* has nagiosadmin in there).
nagiosadmin is defined as the contact for the defined services/hosts.

I created the requisite .htaccess and htpasswd.user files, and I am able to  
log in to Nagios as nagiosadmin with no trouble.

Once I log in, though, nagiosadmin can't do diddly... Host Detail/Service  
Detail... nope... status map, sure; tactical overview, sure...

If I turn off authentication, everything is available.
If I set authorized_* to * instead of nagiosadmin, it still doesn't work...

Somehow, it seems like the .htaccess authentication and nagios  
authorization are not communicating. Is there some other switch that I need  
to flip to get this on and working? I know I must b emissing something,  
but, I'm stumped...
