binary distribution woes, websphere 5.1

All right.  I admit defeat.  I have spent hours stretching
into days trying to
get the binary distribution of slide.war working on
websphere 5.1.  The slide
server starts fine, and I can see the  file system using my
desktop Win XP's "My
Network Places" mapping technique.  I am simply unable
to copy a file to any of
the directories -- files/, workspace/, and so on.  The
slide.log file offers
this message:
Servlet.Engine.Transports : 0, 09-Jun-2006 14:57:59,
unauthenticated, PUT, 403
"Forbidden", 15 ms, /

I have configured the application to use the PARENT_LAST
value for the
classloader  mode, and to use APPLICATION for the WAR
classloader policy. 
Following the jakarta slide guidelines, I have set
authentication to false in
the slide.properties file, and I have made sure these
elements are commented out:
/web-app/security-constraint and /web-app/login-config

I have even tried to turn authentication on, and the results
are the same. 
Moreover I am not prompted to supply an ID and password. 

I am missing something simple, right?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
