rsync on a webdav folder doesn't work

I tried to sync pdf files of a local folder on my PC on a webdav folder (box account). I mounted that folder with : davs://dav.box.com/dav. I am on ubuntu 14.04

rsync -avu --include="*/" --include="*.pdf" --exclude="*" L2/ /run/user/1000/gvfs/dav:host=dav.box.com,ssl=true/dav/Cours/

The above rsync command created on the webdav folder the directory tree but it does not copy any file.

I got plenty of :

rsync: failed to set times on "/run/user/1000/gvfs/dav:host=dav.box.com,ssl=true/dav/Cours/SymCristalline": Operation not supported (95)
rsync: failed to set times on "/run/user/1000/gvfs/dav:host=dav.box.com,ssl=true/dav/Cours/SymCristalline/Cours": Operation not supported (95)
...

Then I got the list of files I want to sync.

SymCristalline/
SymCristalline/TD_2013.pdf
SymCristalline/blanche.pdf
SymCristalline/inter_tables_of_crist__vol_a.pdf
SymCristalline/inter_tables_of_crist__vol_d.pdf
....

Then I got plenty of 

rsync: mkstemp "/run/user/1000/gvfs/dav:host=dav.box.com,ssl=true/dav/Cours/SymCristalline/.TD_2013.pdf.tgEY8n" failed: Operation not supported (95)
rsync: mkstemp "/run/user/1000/gvfs/dav:host=dav.box.com,ssl=true/dav/Cours/SymCristalline/.blanche.pdf.tZ2XyK" failed: Operation not supported (95)
....

and finaly :

sent 93,577,889 bytes  received 38,505 bytes  20,577.29 bytes/sec
total size is 93,541,542  speedup is 1.00
rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1183) [sender=3.1.0]

At the end, on the webdav folder, there is all directories but not any files.

It's likely this is due to archive mode (-a) as WebDAV protocol does not support updating file permissions.
