Hello Joey,

the error message originates from umount(8) not from umount.davfs. It
usually happens when your system lacks /etc/mtab or when /etc/mtab is
replaced by /proc/mounts.
You can use mount option 'users' instead of 'user' to work around the
problem. But 'users' will allow any user to unmount the file system.

Background:
umount(8) will search /etc/mtab for a matching entry and check for
option 'user=<username>'. /proc/mounts does not show this option. What
options davfs2 can pass to the fuse kernel module in the mount(2)
system call is restricted by the fuse kernel module.
Some years ago there was a discussion about this and related problems
on a mailing list regarding util-linux-ng, but I can't find it at the
moment.

Cheers
Werner
