Ah, thanks for the hint. Found the discussion at
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.horde.cvs/45532/focus=14250

My problem addresses the same conflict between share name and datatree
id.

Taking into account that most horde apps actually use a random string
as the share id I wonder if it would be a problem to use the share
name as unique id. Since the share name can currently be used to
retrieve a share I assume that the name currently has to be unique
anyway. So why is there a need for this random string?

Cheers

Gunnar
