Can't see files when connecting to WebDav through Network Namespace

Hello,

I have trouble understanding a problem regarding running WebDav inside a Network Namespace.

I have a VPN running inside a Network Namespace called X, and I would like to connect to my WebDav using the VPN running in the Network Namespace X.

When I mount normally with:

mount.davfs https://[link].com/webdav [mount point]

I can successfully connect to my WebDav (with successfully I mean: I can see the files in my file manager). However, when I want to use the VPN in my Network Namespace X, to connect to my WebDav, and still use the same mount point, with

ip netns exec X mount.davfs https://[link].com/webdav [mount point]

I cannot see my files in my file manager, but it gives no errors. So the WebDav connection is running, but I can't see the files in my file manager, when trying to use my Network Namespace X.

As I understand, and can see from my own Network Namespace X, I can access all the same files as outside the Network Namespace, only the Network routing is different. So why can't I see my files?

I have tried opening the file manager with the namespace, and I still couldn't see my files. I can't think of any other things to try, therefore, any help regarding this problem would be greatly appreciated.
