CIFS andWebDav integration with RM

We would like to have the option of using webdav or CIFS to upload non-alfresco content to Alfresco RM.  In the past, we were able to copy via windows explorer to a mapped folder in a file plan, and the content would show up as an unfiled record.

When I copy via cifs and webdav to our Alfresco 5.0.0 and RM 2.3 site, I get an error saying that the 'Destination Folder Access is denied'.  If I cancel the copy and refresh the folder, I see 2 copies of the file in the folder, and 6 copies of a 0 byte version of the content in the folder.  I can delete all the files from share, or the webdav and cifs mapped folders.

The strange thing is that if I copy and paste content from a CIFS mounted non-RM site to the RM site, it works as expected.

Any thoughts?

We have Alfresco Enterprise 5.0.0 and RM 2.3 running on a RHEL 6.5 server with the local Postgres DB.  I am mapping to the Alfresco sites as an user with admin privs that is authenticating against active directory LDAP.

I have uploaded the alfresco.log snippets for when I successfully upload a file through a windows explorer mapping to a folder in a normal site, and wheni try to upload the same file to a RM fileplan folder.

Here is a summary of the webdav calls when I set the alfresco.webdav.protocol to DEBUG:

Success:
PUT
LOCK
HEAD
PUT
PROPPATCH
PROPPATCH
UNLOCK

Here are the calls for the same file with the same mapping against the RM folder:

PROPFIND
PROPFIND
PROPFIND
PUT
LOCK
HEAD
PUT
PROPPATCH
HEAD
PUT
PROPFIND (within the previous PUT)
PROPPATCH
UNLOCK
DELETE
DELETE
PROPFIND


I have upgraded to 5.0.1, and am experiencing the same thing.
