The <guid> element for these two records (and others) is the same. You MUST 
have unique <guids> for each record. The server stores data for each user 
based on their <guid> - so these two users end up with the same data path 
on the server.

So, generate proper GUIDs for each record. You can do that using the 
uuidgen command on the command line. As someone else noted there is a 
runadmin.py command in the CalDAVClientLibrary tool available on 
calendarserver.org. That provides a command line interface for manipulating 
the accounts.xml file. It will take care of creating accounts with proper 
GUIDs.

NB it is important to use proper GUIDs in the accounts.xml file. The next 
version of the server will actually use a slightly different store layout 
that uses the first four characters of the GUID to create a "hashed" 
directory structure for better scalability. GUIDs that are not four 
characters long will not work with that.
