well one thing i see that is wrong is your ignorehidden
it should be added something like:
<Limit ALL SITE_CHMOD>
IgnoreHidden on
</Limit>
and i am not sure if it is case sensitive, but denyall may have to be typed DenyAll

hmm what does ALL SITE_CHMOD mean ?



and i did what you told me to do and it still gives the same error, anyone else any idea ?????
