Permissions trouble with WebDav
Hello!
I need some advice about using WebDav in Mac OS 10.5
My problem is that I mount a WebDav folder in the hard drive pointing to a webdav directory service running under apache (it's Alfresco, if you know it) but the permissions of this directory, when mounted, are only for the user who has mounted it. When I try to access the directory through an application running in the apache, it runs like other user (appserver in this case, the system's default) so it can't read or write in this directory.
I try to change the folder's owner/permissions but it is not possible (access denied, using sudo...). So my question is: is there anyway of changing this folder permissions/owner when it is mounted? Or allowing the system's default user accessing this folder?
I mount it this way:
sudo mount -t webdav <webdav_directory_host> <folder_in_hard_drive>
and the permissions are:
drwx------ myuser
If you can help me it would be great! And sorry for my English, I'm still studying it.

_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
The package vfs provides not only the means to implement a virtual filesystem at the tcl level, but also a number of ready to be used
filesystems as well.
Each of these filesystem exists as its own package, and can be accessed through package require vfs::NAME. The whole set of these virtual
filesystems is known informally as 'vfslib'.
SUPPORTED VFS TYPES
Currently supported are ftp, tar, http, zip, mk4, ns, and webdav. In addition there is the ability to mount any 'urltype' as a new direc-
tory, provided an appropriate vfs is supported. This means that you can treat urls based on the schemes ftp://, http:// and file:// as
files. To do this, simply evaluate the command vfs::urltype::Mount ftp for example. Any access inside the new volume will result in an
attempt to require a package through package require vfs::${type}, which must therefore exist, or errors will be thrown. If a filesystem
is loaded, use the associated command listed below to mount a source for that filesystem as a tcl directory.
vfs::zip::Mount path to
Mount the zip file path as directory to.
vfs::mk4::Mount path to
Mount the metakit database file file path as directory to.
vfs::tar::Mount path to
Mount the tar file path as directory to.
vfs::ftp::Mount path to
Mount the ftp url path as directory to.
vfs::ns::Mount path to
Mount the tcl namespace path as directory to.
vfs::webdav::Mount path to
Mount the webdav url path as directory to.
vfs::http::Mount path to
Mount the http url path as directory to.
vfs::urltype::Mount path to
Mount the url path, of type urltype as directory to.
LIMITATIONS
Most of the vfs types listed above have not been very well debugged as yet. Please test them!
