This is due to a weirdness in ra_dav: if a PROPFIND on a path fails,
it keeps retrying the request on every single parent. This is the
"real" problem that needs solving, so be sure to notate that in any
issue you file.

I mean, yes, caching in memory is also a solution. It should
definitely be happening when it's not. I just also want to re-examine
the multiple-PROPFIND issue as well.

That's definitely weird and a bug. The auth system should be checking
--username before *any* other disk or prompt provider.
