The Min-Kloud's clerk has been stirring things up with a big stick (again).

The directory name that had the path separator character in it, is gone bye, bye (causes too many troubles).

What was there, is now found in:
dav:/kpw2/Amazon/Sources/v5.4.0/
(Presuming that Amazon will post firmware updates in the future.)

With a corresponding:
dav:/kpw2/Amazon/Binaries/
(Presuming that Amazon will post binary update packages.)

The problems with the Linux davfs2 driver:
Current news: Don't use it. Author bugfixes it every two years or so.

There is also an (old, but working nicely) command line client: cadaver
Just use your package manager to install it. It should be in all distributions.
(File paths above are copies of the cadaver prompt.)

@twobob: We might consider this for porting to the Kindle, it doesn't take the huge amounts of ram the other clients need.

Documentation on cadaver is limited to the man page:
http://linux.die.net/man/1/cadaver

Note: There also is a PerlDAV and a PyDAV client - not played with here.
