I imagine you trued to create a recurrence by first getting one from an
existing event? iCal has a stupid bug that prefixes a ":" to the recurrence
string when you ask for it from a recurring event. If you include that colon
in making a recurrence string for an event, you get no recurrence. Just
remove the ":" and it works fine.
