Never mind, I figured it out.

Apparently you have to explicitly declare a "WebDAV Source Port" when
starting up the z2 server, and when you connect to it it will munge the
path in a GET request to call the manage_FTPget() method of the object.

Unless you have a client that supports the Source property (RFC 2518,
section 13.10.1).
