webdav and permissions

I posted this on the OS X Talk list first, but haven't gotten a solution =
yet.

I have a remote server (FreeBSD, apache 2.2.11_7) with a wordpress =
(current) install. The permissions on the main root folder for the =
install are:

$ ls -lsa
total 92
2 drwxr-xr-x 7 www wheel 512 Nov 22 13:20 .
2 drwxr-xr-x 35 root wheel 1024 Nov 19 06:53 ..
2 drwxr-xr-x 2 www wheel 512 Nov 11 17:09 html
2 drwxr-xr-x 5 www www 1024 Nov 14 13:13 wordpress

inside the wordpress folder there is a theme folder with the following =
permissions:

$ ls -lsd wordpress/wp-content/themes/autumn-forest/imgs/
2 drwxr-xr-x 2 www www 512 Nov 22 05:59 =
wordpress/wp-content/themes/autumn-forest/imgs/

All the folders under the 'root' for the domain have the same =
permissions.

When I mount the root of the user on OS X via webDAV, I am able to copy =
files into the root folder or the html folder, but not into the =
wordpress folder, or into the imgs folder where they are supposed to go. =
(this is evidently how you add/change sidebar images in WP themes).

The only .htaccess is the one created by wordpress in the wordpress =
folder.

<
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^u/([0-9]+)$ wp-content/plugins/short-url-plugin/u.php?$1|$2


# END WordPress
# BEGIN WordPress

# END WordPress
# BEGIN WordPress

# END WordPress
EOF

When I try to copy a file into the wordpress folder, I get an OS X auth =
dialog asking for an admin user/password. If I type in my local =
machine's admin info, I then get "One or more items can't be copied to =
'wordpress' because you don't have permission to read them. Do you want =
to copy the items you are allowed to read?" If I try to copy from the =
command line I get:

$ cp ~/Desktop/sidephoto.jpg =
wordpress/wp-content/themes/autumn-forest/imgs/
cp: wordpress/wp-content/themes/autumn-forest/imgs/sidephoto.jpg : =
Operation not permitted

(which is not a Permission denied error, which is one gets when there's =
a permission issue)

in httpd/user/example.conf I have


ServerName webdav.example.com
DocumentRoot /usr/local/www/example.com/
DavLockDB /tmp/DavLock.example

DAV On
AuthType Basic
AuthName example
AuthUserFile /usr/local/www/example.com/.htdavpass
Options All
ForceType text/plain
UNLOCK>
require valid-user=20





#AllowOverride All
Options -ExecCGI +Includes
Order allow,deny
Allow from all


If I remove/rename the .htaccess file, then I can copy via webDAV as =
much as I want.

I modified the htaccess file hoping I could eliminate the webdav issue. =
My webdav mount is webdav.example.com, so I did this:


RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^webdav
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^u/([0-9]+)$ wp-content/plugins/short-url-plugin/u.php?$1|$2


That has fixed the problem and it is now possible to access the entire =
web space via wedbav.
