You have two Directory stanzas with the same dir name... what are you 
trying to accomplish?  This could trigger a problem in the way that 
mod_backhand will try to merge the declarations.  The above is 
confusing though.

Again a double directory clause.

Hmm... what's in there?  If you are using rewrite rules, unexpected 
things can happen sometimes.

After removing the dupped <Directory> clauses in your conf, if it still 
doesn't work, try moding the AddModule mod_backhand.c at the _end_ of 
the AddModule list or somewhere in the middle.  I know that many people 
experience module ordering pains when trying to get mod_backhand and 
mod_gzip working together -- perhaps you are seeing a similar effect.
