SOLUTION FOUND!

Turned out that most of the text in the .htaccess file related ro Frontpage, specifically,

# -FrontPage-

IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*

<Limit GET POST>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all
</Limit>
<Limit PUT DELETE>
order deny,allow
deny from all
</Limit>
AuthName spiritualdenver.com
AuthUserFile /home/spiritua/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.pwd

Deleting all of this text from the .htaccess file instantly resolved the problem. I’m going to leave this item posted here on the forum for anyone else who runs into the same problem.
