That means your auth worked, and your preferences failed.  So that is
the correct $conf['auth'] setup, as I told you previously.

That tells you auth failed.  So that is the wrong $conf['auth'] setup.

Set up your $conf['prefs'] array like your $conf['auth'] array.  Make sure
you created the preferences db tables.
