Not sure if it is related to the allprop thing, but when I tried using 
davfs to mount box.net (webdavs) as a filesystem, the problem was that
even though a file would be uploaded, it would either disappear from the 
filesystem or show a size of zero. I think there was some sort of lag
between the file being committed to the server and showing up on the 
local davfs mounted filesystem. If I recall that caused duplicity to 
fail because it would query the file it just uploaded and either the 
size would be returned incorrectly or the file would appear missing.
