But from what you show below, you are not using cadaver (or anything
webdav-related for that matter) to do the copying. You are using
scp: *that*'s what you've got to get working.

This looks wrong - if you try it with scp from the command line, can
you copy a file to that destination?

Where does org-mobile-directory point to if not the "physical location
of the webdav share"? The tramp stuff doesn't know or care about webdav
at all: it is just the mechanism that copies files from your local
machine to some other machine, so it needs to know exactly where to copy
it to.
