Well, English not beeing my native language, I certainly did not explain
very well. Sorry.

The problem is not at all sharing a foreign share. It is a client
problem.

On the client, the shares are published with the syntax "dav://....". If
you simply try to copy one of the shared folders to the client (which is
nothing but a normal download), it does not work, and you get the error
message "not found". Copying (downloading) single files in the same way
works fine.

It must be a gvfs problem on the client. In gvfs there is always a
second way to access published folders (it is the same for samba
shares). You can find them in a hidden folder ".gvfs" in your home
directory. There the access is possible without the double slash via
"~/.gvfs/WebDAV on <IP>". If this way is used to access the shared
folders, they can be copied or moved to the client without any problems.

That is why I still think that gvfs is affected.

Since "gnome-user-share" is meant to be a tool for everyone, the default
way must work without any sofisticated workarounds!
