It looks like I've solved the problem. Apparently, you cannot rely on CalendarServer generating the GUIDs. I added the following configuration and haven't had problems yet:


   <key>DirectoryService</key>
   <dict>
     <key>type</key>
     <string>twistedcaldav.directory.ldapdirectory.LdapDirectoryService</string>

     <key>params</key>
     <dict>

       <key>rdnSchema</key>
       <dict>
         <key>guidAttr</key>
         <string>entryUUID</string>


This reuses OpenLDAP's Universally Unique IDentifiers as Globally Unique IDentifiers in CalendarServer which is probably a nice thing in itself.

Interesting.  I'll have to think about how I could do something similar, since I'm not using LDAP as a directory service.

With regard to disabling memcached, one of the few responses I got back to my queries regarding memcached is that it's not possible to disable:

In my case, I'm not sure the GUID generation would change the situation substantially because I already have calendars with GUIDs assigned.  What will happen in my case is that sometimes a request will come in and will be "found", while 5 minutes later a request for the same item will come in and not be found.  With my weak python debugging skills I traced it down to trying find that something in cache and it not being there.  I would think that when it's not in cache it would get loaded, but it's almost as if memcached thinks it has the item but doesn't return it.
