I'm assuming that the * characters are just for the email, and that
you actually have AllowOverride None in the config file.

        <Directory / >
                Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                Order allow,deny
                allow from all
                 AllowOverride None
        </Directory>


By any chance, do you have another Directory entry ?

        <Directory /var/www/htdocs/my/custom/folder >
                Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                Order allow,deny
                allow from all
                 AllowOverride All
        </Directory>

This would enable .htaccess in the sub-folder.

Also, setting the Loglevel to Debug might help with diagnostics.
Could you turn debug logging on to see what's hapening ?

Another thing you may want to try is to have a very very basic set of
config and test just that much.
