I have been digging into the problem some more.
The culprit seems to be the method get_size()
This Method is not defined for a collection (I did not find it  at least)
but for most of the "file" types.
Webdav probably expects in getsize to find the length of the directory but
gets the length something else.

Does anybody know what webdav expects as result of get_size()?

I tried with
    def get_size ( self ) :
        return self.objectItems()

this works but ...
