WebDAV on OSX, umm, does weird things to the data

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Download and install 3.1B4
2. Run tomcat and rbnb locally
3. Mount webdav
4. Write JPGs and/or PNGs to Webdav-based directories. I just used Unix cp, 
didn't try to use the 
@ syntax for time, duration or anything. Ditto for mkdir, same result with or 
without flags.
5. Run RDV and try to view them.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect that I could view them as a video/image feed. Now, (see attached 
screenshot) I get 
'application/nullfile' and zero-duration, zero-byte metadata I cannot view.

This breaks the previous demo setup, so I've entered it as high priority.

I am looking at this, and think I have a quick fix.  It seems the recent change 
to
allow WebDav to append to archives also caused it to fail to provide some 
metadata
that RDV depends upon.

I will test it some more and post an update.
