Joachim,

I cannot confirm whether this is an official problem, but I can tell  
you that I have the exact same experience when trying to import my  
CPSSharedCalender into iCal. This occurred, for me, after updating  
our CPS site from 3.3 to 3.4, and the calendar from CPSCalendar to  
CPSSharedCalendar.

Because of this, and since iCal (for the time being) still doesn't  
have any built-in support for two-way calendar syncing with  
CPSSharedCalendar, I have resorted to using Mozilla Sunbird as my  
main calendar application. It is far from bugfree, but two-way  
synchronization at least with CPSSharedCal. works very well.

But, I would also like any information on what might cause the iCal  
error message - I believed I tried to debug it when the message first  
occurred, but I can no longer remember my findings. Maybe I should  
test it some more - I'll report back if I find anything interesting.
