Cannot write to WEBDAV folder in Windows 7

Hi,
I have successfully mapped my Alfresco WEBDAV URL to a Windows drive and am able to open document for reading. I still have two issues, though:

1) When I try to copy a file from my Windows 7 desktop (e.g. "catalina.out") to one of the Alfresco folders within my "Sandbox" Share site, Windows shows an error message saying "File catalina.out is too big for the destination file system". The file is actually created with a size of 0 bytes. Of course, there is enough space for a 175KB file - I have copied the debug log to this message (see below)

2) Second issue I have is that when I open a file from the WEBDAV folder with MS Word (2010), nothing happens. The file is not opened, MS Word does not freeze. I can just continue working with it, but would not be able to actually open the file from the WEBDAV folder. Copying the file to a local drive and opening from there works perfectly (see second log)

Anyone having the same issues? Unfortunately SMB is not an alternative to me, as my providers do block the relevant port numbers.
I'm running Alfresco version 3.3.0 (G 2785) schema 4009.

Best regards,
Andreas

Another observation: When using a 3rd party file synchronizer, I can update Alfresco documents without any issues.
The problem seems to be caused by either Windows 7. Maybe there's another element of the WEBDAV protocol that Windows 7 expects and Alfresco does not support (like PROPPATCH?).
Or is this a configuration issue with my Windows or Alfresco installation?
Does anybody else have this problem?

I have precisely the same problem when copying new files - I would love a solution dearly.

Working with/updating files already on Alfresco seems to work OK.
