### Please describe the problem.

"git-annex enableremote box.com" fails with "git-annex: WebDAV test failed".  The server returns error message "The resource you tried to create already exists" (see below).

### What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. I initialize box.com special remote in desktop.  The path at box.com is at "gas/annex".

2. I enable the box.com special remote in laptop.  I got the error I described above.
