What do you mean by 'it works like charm'?
Any help is welcome
The webdav plugin makes use of the "share accounts" functionality in Maemo 5, and that part works like a charm for me. If you've installed webdav plugin and libneon correctly Meamo will give jou the following option:
Settings -> Sharing accounts -> New -> Select service -> Webdav (here you have to configure your webdav account)

If configured correctly the plugin works like this:
Filemanager options -> Share -> 'Select file' -> Share -> Share via service -> Webdav
The selected file will be uploaded to the webdav folder associated with your webdav account.

Thus, this plugin only gives you the ability to upload files to a webdav server, if you want to access and move around files in a webdav folder you have to mount the folder to your filesystem I guess you need the lighttpd-dav-gui package from the repository to do this, but I'm not sure about that because I never used it.
I hope this is the help you need, good luck.
