man mount.davfs provides an entry in fstab for -t davfs. Does simply adding this into fstab complete the task, or is a reboot needed? (or some service restarted).
fstab is the list of mounts that will be done at boot, but you can manually invoke mount at any time with the same arguments supplied from a line in fstab.
As the others have stated, invoking mount with just the device name or the mount point is a good way to test your fstab entry, as mount will look in fstab if you don't supply all the arguments.
