Your configuration isn't valid, that's why you are getting that error.
 The real error is that you don't have a proper realm configured, so
the file probably is being loaded but since it isn't really valid
configuration (you don't specify the default realm, or the credential
information).

Try removing this from your YAML and put it in your MyApp.pm following
the configuration example at
http://search.cpan.org/~jayk/Catalyst-Plugin-Authentication-0.10008/lib/Catalyst/Plugin/Authentication.pm#CONFIGURATION

After that worry about putting it in YAML format.
