Please describe the problem:
Similar to bug 574968 I tested saving in OOo on gvfs fuse webdav backend. Unsurprisingly it fails as well. The OOo error isn't particularly useful but I have included it for reference:

"
==
OpenOffice.org 3.0
--
Error saving the document Untitled1:
Object not accessible.
The object cannot be accessed
due to insufficient user rights.
==
"

It tries to create a lock file before saving which gvfs appears to claim failed to be created although it really is actually there. It therefore does not save the actual document file.

I tested on the command line as well with touch and got the following output:

ccheney@x200:~/.gvfs/ccheney%27s public files on x200$ touch foo; ls -l
touch: cannot touch `foo': No such file or directory
total 0
-rwx------ 1 ccheney ccheney 0 2009-03-12 17:04 foo


Steps to reproduce:
1. Mount a webdav share
2. On the command line type touch foo
3. See that it claims to have failed to create but actually does create the file


Actual results:
File is created but touch claims it was not created due to a bug in gvfs fuse webdav.

Expected results:
The file to be created and that the application creating the file knows that the file was created.

Does this happen every time?
Yes

Other information:
gvfs 1.1.8 on Ubuntu Jaunty (9.04)
