Actually a quite common problem, and has to do with how Trac is usually set
up - and how most of the docs recommend setting it up.

The typical web
server setup will only do authentication on a request to .../login, and browser
caching and cookie will handle the rest.

Problem is that the various RSS
feeds are on other URLs, and the feed reader will not be challenged for the
username/password - and instead will receive maybe a permission error webpage
or similar depending on you setup and permissions.

Try pasting the URL
into a browser that has no saved record of your user/login, and see the page
presented.

We have configured pretty much the whole site to require valid
user on our Apache setup in order to get all feeds working OK from any feed
reader supporting authentication - timeline, browser, log, reports and so
on.
