I think I see where the confusion might be coming from.  When you go
to publish a collection, a "Publish" dialog appears displaying the
name of the collection and a pulldown list of sharing accounts to
choose from.  The names that appear in that list correspond to the
"Description" fields in the Account Preferences dialog.  When you
create a new account in the Account Preferences dialog, the default
Description for the account is something like "New WebDAV Sharing
Account" (or whatever is the appropriate account type).  So perhaps
when you first tried creating a WebDAV account you didn't change the
Description field for it, and therefore "New WebDAV Sharing Account"
is appearing in the Publish dialog, causing you to think you need to
create a new account?  Try clicking on the Sharing account pulldown
listbox and see if the Chandler Server account you created is in the
list.

When publishing collections to a Chandler server, you'll want to use a
"Chandler Server" sharing account, since that type of account uses a
more efficient protocol to synchronize between desktop and server.
