[O] MobileOrg, webdav, correct use of org-mobile-directory?

[James Harkins]

Okay, I've just about gotten that WebDAV service set up for mobileorg sync. I 
can both GET and PUT files using cadaver. But org-mode isn't talking to it 
properly.

According to [1] ("[user]" is a substitute for the real http user name):

org-mobile-directory: /scpc:address@hidden:80/webdav/

Then org-mobile-push gets further:

Loading tramp...done
Tramp: Opening connection for address@hidden using scpc...
Tramp: Sending command `exec ssh -l [user]  -o 
ControlPath=/tmp/address@hidden:%p -o ControlMaster=yes -e none localhost'

Tramp: Waiting for prompts from remote shell
Tramp: Sending password
Tramp: Sending command `exec ssh -l [user]  -o 
ControlPath=/tmp/address@hidden:%p -o ControlMaster=yes -e none localhost'
Tramp: Found remote shell prompt on `localhost'
Tramp: Opening connection for address@hidden using scpc...done

... but chokes on something surprising:

org-mobile-check-setup: Variable `org-mobile-directory' must point to an 
existing directory

Huh? [1] clearly says:

  (setq org-mobile-directory "/scpc:address@hidden:org/webdav/")

... but:

  (unless (and org-mobile-directory
               (stringp org-mobile-directory)
               (string-match "\\S-" org-mobile-directory)
               (file-exists-p org-mobile-directory)
               (file-directory-p org-mobile-directory))
    (error
     "Variable `org-mobile-directory' must point to an existing directory"))

I suppose I can hack it by putting the physical location of the webdav share 
into org-mobile-directory. But, the documentation seems incompatible with the 
current behavior.
