Cubby with rclone: "Failed to copy: unchunked simple update failed: Method Not Allowed: 405 Method Not Allowed"

[necrevistonnezr]

I'm trying to sync a local folder to Cubby WebDAV via rclone 1.73.2 (current)

I'm getting these errors in rclone:

There were recent fixes in webdav to be more compatible with windows, but that isn't released yet. Will see if this is already fixed and then cut a cubby release.

[nebulon]

This should be fixed with latest package release

Something changed as it used to work two weeks ago.

I did sync a folder tree here with rclone also just fine, but I think maybe the issue is actually that cubby now has one extra folder structure in webdav. It used to only expose the users's home folder, but now Home is one folder next to Groupfolder and Shares. I can see that for example MKCOL /webdav/kdj/Literatur/ does not have /webdav/home/.... so maybe just the rclone config needs to be adjusted?
