It *should* be named Admin_AuthController if you want it to work with
the defaults in Zend_Controller. That's your first problem.

This is because the file is not loaded yet -- and cannot be loaded via
autoloading.
The dispatcher performs some logic to do a lookup from the class name to
the filesystem -- it doesn't use autoloading. As such, if you want to do
reflection on a controller, you'll need to either ensure it's already
been loaded by the dispatcher, or do a require_once yourself, manually
resolving the class's filename.
