Ah, this may help ... file-in the attached changeset from Yoshiki, and  
"do" the following code:

Utilities authorName: nil.

d _ DAVMultiUserServerDirectory on: 'http://squeakland.org/webdav/'.
d altUrl: 'http://squeakland.org/webdav/'.
d moniker: 'My Squeakland'.
d acceptsUploads: true.
d setupSelector: #setupPersonalDirectory:.
ServerDirectory inImageServers at: 'My Squeakland' put: d.

d _ DAVMultiUserServerDirectory on: 'http://squeakland.org/webdav/'.
d altUrl: 'http://squeakland.org/webdav/'.
d moniker: 'Squeakland Showcase'.
d user: 'etoys'.
d password: 'kaeuqs'.
d useDefaultAccount: true.
d acceptsUploads: true.
ServerDirectory inImageServers at: 'Squeakland Showcase' put: d.
