Hi James,
Not sure if this is the cause but it seems you are providing a
directory name in your location tag where as a Location tag excepts a
URL path.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#location
Thought it might be worth pointing out.

I've been trying to get webdav to work with apache for a little while
now and I must be missing something. Currently I just have the
directives like this
<Location /var/www/html/dav/>
DAV on
</Location>
I just want to verify that webdav actually works. When trying to map the
location with Windows XP it asks for a username/password which I don't
understand why it should? I also tried a program called "Webdrive" and
it was unable to connect and gave this error when authenticating as an
anonymous user:
"Unable to connect to server, error information below
Error: HTTP Error response received from server, erorr=405 (4516)
Operation: Connecting to server
Server Response: 405 Method Not Allowed"
I tried the litmus test on the centos machine and got this:
"[root@linux james]# /usr/local/bin/litmus http://192.168.1.8/dav/
-> running `basic':
0. init.................. pass
1. begin................. FAIL (Could not create new collection
`/dav/litmus/' for tests: 405 Method Not Allowed
Server must allow `MKCOL /dav/litmus/' for tests to proceed)
<- summary for `basic': of 2 tests run: 1 passed, 1 failed. 50.0%
See debug.log for network/debug traces."
The directory permissions look fine...owned by apache:apache and 775
Before this I was using a .htpasswd file and had authentication on in
the apache directives but the usernames and passwords I added to the
file would not work. It had the exact same problem I have now. I'm sure
it's something simple and I'm an idiot -- I just can't figure it out =o(
