You might try putting your directive directly in the root .htaccess
file and then scope it down to /staff

example, put something like:

        <Directory /staff>
                AuthType Basic
                AuthName "Password Required"
                AuthUserFile /somewhere/staff.htpasswd
                Require valid-user
        </Directory>

somewhere BEFORE the call to:

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.fcgi [QSA,L]

As soon as Apache has called dispatch.fcgi, it's Rails handling
everything, and nobody is checking your htaccess
