work around box.com webdav rename bug
Apparently box.com renaming is just buggy. I tried a couple of fixes:
* In case the http Manager was opening multiple connections and reaching
different backend servers, I tried limiting the number of connections
to 1. Didn't help.
* To make sure it was not a http connection reuse problem, I tried
rewriting how exportAction works, so that the same http connection
is clearly open. Didn't help.
So, disable renaming of exports for box.com. It would be good to test it
with some other webdav server.

The rename to the temp file succeeds, but the rename of the temp - file to the final name fails. - Also, sometimes the delete of the temp file that's done as a fallback - fails to actually delete it. - Hypothesis: Those are done in separate http connections and it might be - talking to two different backend servers that are out of sync. - So, making export cache connections might help.
