Just as a follow-up to this slightly stale thread, i tried a few GUI 
clients, none of which work the way i want (to their credit, they had an 
uphill battle in order to win my favor as i'm not at all a fan of GUI 
file manager-type applications).

I also tried cadaver, which seemed to work well but was even clunkier to 
use than smbclient that i'd previously been using to access CIFs shares.

I eventually settled on davfs2, which allows me to mount the WebDAV 
share as a regular file system. I configured it to allow the mount to 
happen from my regular account. Right now i've had it mounted for a 
couple days with no issues, so the mount appears to be stable. It is 
slightly slower than a local file system for basic things like directory 
listings, but is certainly tolerable.
