You didn't allow guest access to jonah (didn't allow guest access in
horde/config/registry.php).  Hence when you hit backend.php, 
it includes /jonah/lib/base.php.  The last thing in base.php says if
guest access isn't allowed, then you need to be logged in by Horde, so 
it redirects you to the Horde login page.  Since the included base.php
and its login checks are *before* the login checks in backend.php, they
take priority.

Solutions:

1) Allow guest access
2) Modify base.php to allow access somehow.

I did #2.  I modified base.php to say if the url is backend.php and the
IP is an allowed IP to allow it through, otherwise use the horde auth
stuff.  Hence it does horde auth for all other urls, and httpd auth for
backend.php.
