Please help with Webdav transfer script

I need help on a script that syncs a directory with a webdav directory.
For example I have the folders:
./upload/
./upload/client
./upload/client/department
./upload/client2
./upload/client2/department

each of these folders contain docs that need to goto the webdav.
also the client names change frequently so I realy would not want to hard code them in.

Here is my non working script w/ the fat cutout.

**********************************************************************************************
# I create a full listing of file names
cd /tmp/upload/
find "`pwd`" -name "*.*" > /tmp/Full_listing.txt;

#I cut down the file names and turn the spaces into %20 for the webdav
cat /tmp/Full_listing.txt | sed -e 's|/tmp/upload/|/|' -e 's| |%20|'> /tmp/Short_listing.txt;

# here is where I tranfer the files
cat /tmp/Short_listing.txt |while read line; do cadaver -t \""http://10.1.1.142:80/ktwebdav/ktwebdav.php""${line}"\" -U "username" -P "password" -S \"/tmp/upload"${line}"\";done

#here is where I delete the temp files
cat /tmp/Full_listing.txt |while read line; do rm \""${line}"\";done

**********************************************************************************************

the problem is cadaver is exec like this:
cadaver -t "http://10.1.1.142:80/ktwebdav/ktwebdav.php/client/department/doc.txt" -U "username" -P "password" -S "/tmp/upload/client/department/doc.txt"

When it should be this:
cadaver -t "http://10.1.1.142:80/ktwebdav/ktwebdav.php/client/department/" -U "username" -P "password" -S "/tmp/upload/client/department/doc.txt"

How do I cutout the documents name?
I have been working on this for a few days and have been unable to find a solution.

Thanks for reading my way to long post.

final result

Here is what I ended up with if this helps anybody. I modified cadaver to do what I needed. Source is available if requested. This is my .bash_login for cygwin.

#!/bin/sh
#list directories and divide into names and paths
cd /tmp/upload
DIR="."

function list_files()
{
if !(test -d "$1")
then echo $1; return;
fi

cd "$1"


for i in *
do
if test -d "$i" #if dictionary
then
list_files "$i" #recursively list files
cd ..
else
echo "$i"| 'pwd' >> /tmp/dir
echo "/""$i""\"" >> /tmp/files
fi

done
}


if [ $# -eq 0 ]
then list_files .
fi

for i in $*
do
DIR="$1"
list_files "$DIR"
shift 1 #To read next directory/file name
done

# Format the file names and paths for the webdav
cat /tmp/dir | sed -e 's|/tmp/upload/|/|' -e 's| |%20|'> /tmp/Short_listing;
