As an aside you *may* run into problems if using an older version
of Apache.  This feature was added in 1.2b5, and other problems 
(like this failing within <Location> directives) were apparent
through 1.3b6.

Another solution is to use mod_rewrite with a rule like

   RewriteRule ^(.*)/.mhonarc.db $1 [R=permanent]

This redirects requests to the parent directory (the actual archive).
(note: mod_rewrite wasn't included with Apache until 1.2b3, although
it was available separately prior to that).
