New description:

 I'm trying to download an entire directory from a webdav server. The
 folder is located at:


 {{{
 davs://www.example.com/dav/content/js
 }}}

 I want to download this folder and it's contents to the following
 directory on my local computer:


 {{{
 /local/content/js
 }}}


 Therefore, I cd into the /local directory, and run the following command:


 {{{
 duck -u [USERNAME] -p [PASSWORD] --download
 davs://www.example.com/dav/content/js/ content/js/ --existing overwrite
 }}}


 This works as expected. Then, if I run the same exact command again, to
 download the directory again, instead of overwriting the existing
 /local/content/js directory with the new content, it creates a new js
 directory within the existing one, leaving me with `/local/content/js/js`.

 If I do the same thing with a top level directory, the content is
 overwritten as expected. For example running this command twice:


 {{{
 duck -u [USERNAME] -p [PASSWORD] --download
 davs://www.example.com/dav/content/ content/ --existing overwrite
 }}}


 Will result in the content/ directory being recreated and overwritten with
 the new files rather than creating it as a subdirectory as demonstrated
 above.

 Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong here? Thank you very much for
 any help you can provide.
