iCal works. It involves locating the events, creating the events on

Actually, it is a trivial matter; check out the script that I posted
here. Nothing is deleted and nothing is created; the event is simply
moved from one calendar to another.
It is impossible to perfectly
create the events on a new calendar because some aspects just can't be
scripted (attendees, some aspects of alarms). Furthermore, there
are quirks
in the way event IDs work (not to mention compatibility problems
between
Leopard and Tiger) that make it so it is hard to reliably delete the
old
events on the old calendar.
My script moves attendees, alarms, attachments, URLs, comments, etc.
without any problems.
CaliBrate does a lot more, of course, but simply moving an event
really is trivial.
