Oh, these aren't protocol errors. The problem here is how to get a
filesystem error from the server to the client, so the client can
correctly report it to the users.

DAV can wrap up those errors any way it wants, so long as the client
is able to unwrap and report the right thing reliably.

An example: when the server bounces back with a "Transaction out of
date" error, the client needs to tell the user that's what happened.
