Bug description:
  Binary package hint: davfs2

  Just upgraded to 9.10 karmic today. When I try to mount a webDAV
  partition as a non-root user, I get

  /sbin/mount.davfs: / is the home directory of user kernoops.
  You can't mount into another users home directory

  This worked in 9.04 jaunty

  my fstab for the partition is

  https://hostname_here.edu /media/dav davfs rw,noauto,user 0 0

  mount /media/dav produces this error

  my davfs2.conf contains

  dav_group davfs2
  use_locks 0

  man mount.davfs2 reads:

   When  mounted  by an ordinary user, the mount point must not lie
                within the home directory of another user.

  but kernoops seems like a strange user with a home directory of root.
  Can this directory be changed or can mount.davfs be fixed?
