Hi Terence,
Sorry but I don't use jruby nor redmine on windows and I have absolutely no idea on how to help you...

There is another plugin dmsf which recently added webdav support. They use ruby gem "dav4rack" which seems to be plattform independent
Check it out and contact danmunn danmunn/redmine_dmsf#1 (comment)

unicode gem does not run on jruby because it needs native extension. Please use a plattform extension instead or just another dav gem like dav4rack

C extensions are disabled, can't load /home/.rvm/gems/jruby-1.7.0/gems/unicode-0.4.3/./unicode.so' org/jruby/RubyKernel.java:1019:inrequire'

If i allow native extension via "export JRUBY_OPTS=-Xcext.enabled=true"
i get following error

Load error: unicode -- java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: failed to load shim library, error: /home/sidfunktion/.rvm/rubies/jruby-1.7.0/lib/native/i386-Linux/libjruby-cext.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
org/jruby/RubyKernel.java:1019:in `require'

The problem ist that C extension support is deprecated in JRuby 1.7. Won't Fix.

Would be great if you can abdicate on c extenions generally.
