Ok, that at least proves that ACL is working to some extent.

No - that display is currently broken in Mulberry.

Try details on a calendar or a collection within the server hierarchy - 
Access should then be enabled.

The <acl> element in repository.xml 'mirrors' the WebDAV <DAV:acl> element 
and its child elements. So what you seen in the XML file is basically what 
would appear in the body of a WebDAV ACL method request when a client tries 
to set ACLs, though with DAV: as the namespace for the elements. So to know 
really what that element does in repository.xml you need to read the WebDAV 
ACL spec.

You should setup at least one default calendar for each user just to make 
things easier.

Can you send me your repository.xml file for analysis?
