[icecast] cannot get icecast and ices to talk...authentication failed

I have a weird one...
I installed icecast 2 and ices .23 on Mandake, and am not having any luck
I compiled and installed the nightly icecast just today.

It seems to work fine, however when I telnet to it (10.0.0.3, port 8000),
I am unable to login unless the first line contains ONLY the password.

I used ethereal to see that iceS is trying to send to authenticate, and it
is sending (as the first line):
------------------------
SOURCE hackme /example1.ogg

<p>And then some other information (separated by a single \n), and after the
\n\n (double CR combo), it fails, and I am getting
------------------------
Error during send: Mount failed on http://10.0.0.3:8000/example1.ogg,
error: Could not login on server. Server message: HTTP/1.0 401
Authentication Required

<p>I feel kinda dumb in that I think that cannot really be this difficult,
but I am at a stand still.  Here are the config files:
