I seem to have perhaps unwittingly sort of solved this problem: I have done the following: 1. sudo mkdir -m 755 /mnt/box 2. then set: use_locks 0 in: /etc/davfs2/davfs2.conf 3. sudo mount -t davfs https://dav.box.com/dav /mnt/box -o rw,user,noauto,uid=USER,file_mode=600,dir_mode=700 Please enter the username to authenticate with server https://dav.box.com/dav or hit enter for none. Username: USERNAME Please enter the password to authenticate user USERNAME with server https://dav.box.com/dav or hit enter for none. Password: /sbin/mount.davfs: Warning: can't write entry into mtab, but will mount the file system anyway I still get the warning, but now I am able to read and write to it. (The only change I did from what I was doing previously is that I explicitly set my mode to be -m 755 while mkdir-ing /mnt/box.) I certainly would like the warning to go away, so any suggestions to that effect would be appreciated!

I can not even see the directory as a mortal user. Root of course, has full access.
