This brings up a point that has messed me up with the new version.
I have a script that sucks an ical file out of my corperate shared cal.
and hands it off to a perl script to clean the file, and then opens the
fixed .ics file in iCal. It worked well enough in the last version. But
the new version barfs if I try to modify the ics file too much. Basicaly,
I can remove items, but I can't add items back in.
For example, I was replacing "END:VEVENT" with
"BEGIN:VALARM
TRIGGER:-PT15M
ACTION:DISPLAY
DESCRIPTION:Event reminder
END:VALARM
END:VEVENT"
In order to get alarms set on each message that is imported.
Does anyone have any insite or resources on what iCal can open as far as
ics files go? I can look at doing more of this in applescript, but the
perl bit was working so well for so long....
I don't know if this is relevant or not but here it is, just in case
it is related to your problem.

We currently use iCal for our Mac employees and Mozilla calendar for
our PC employees. The recent 1.5.1 update caused iCal to ignore all
but the first event published by iCal.
We submitted a bug report to the Mozilla calender developers and they
indicated that iCal 1.5.1 does not obey the RFC 2445 specification."
