[users@httpd] ApJServSecretKey directive being ignored

I've compiled and installed Apache 1.3.27 with ApacheJServ 1.1.2 but
when I try to do an apachectl start it says

> You must specify a secret key, or disable this feature.
> To disable, add "ApJServSecretKey DISABLED" to your Apache configuration file.
> To use, add "ApJServSecretKey {filename}" where filename is document
> with more or less random contents, and perhaps a few kb in length.

but I **HAVE** specified ApJServSecretKey DISABLED (in jserv.conf).
It makes no difference if I put it in httpd.conf instead (which
just does an Include on jserv.conf anyway). If I put it in both
(as some docs suggest), I get the error

> Syntax error on line 85 of /usr/local/apache/conf/jserv/jserv.conf:
> ApJServSecretKey: cannot be specified more than once per host

I've also tried setting it to a filename (of a file containing some
random data) and enabling security.authentication and
security.secretKey in jserv.properties, but it makes no difference:
the behaviour is the same for all variants of usage.

Why is it failing to obey the directive? Has anyone got these two
working together who would be prepared to let me see their httpd.conf
and jserv.conf files?
