.htaccess redirect for Error 401

While we are on the topic of Errors, I have been trying to get an htaccess 
file to redirect users to a custom error page if they fail authentication, 
which usually brings up an Error 401 Authorization Required.

 From my understanding, you just need to add this line to your .htaccess file:

--
ErrorDocument 401 /errors/401.html
--

But we cannot get it to function as advertised. I am sure this is because 
of the way we have structured the ErrorDocument directive relative to the 
authentication directive in the .htaccess file, so I have included the 
whole lot here in the hope that one of you wise folk can point out the 
error of my ways.

This is what we already have in the .htaccess:

--
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Please enter a valid username and password"
AuthUserFile /path/to/.filename
<Limit GET PUT POST>
require valid-user
</Limit>
--

What I need to know is where to add the Error directive, relative to the 
above syntax.

Any help appreciated.

Cheers
