It did not when I first ran the command, however I just created the directory /passwd/passwordsand re ran the command as root, and still no luck. 
 
PS, I think there are some permission requirements for the directory and file as well.  I think they have to be owned by 'apache'. 
 
The dirs were owned by root, so I just chown'ed to apache, re ran the command 
/usr/bin/htpasswd -c /passwd/passwords famsite, still no luck.
