The calendar data is invalid in several ways:

1) Many VEVENT components have both a DTEND and a DURATION property 
present. iCalendar states that only one of those must be present (or 
neither).

2) The VTIMEZONE component at the end has an empty DAYLIGHT sub-component.

To fix these do the following:

1) Remove all lines starting with "DURATION:"
2) Remove the VTIMEZONE component, and replace it with the one on your 
server at 
/usr/share/caldavd/lib/python/twistedcaldav/zoneinfo/Europe/Amsterdam.ics 
(which is considerably longer).

Once you have done that you should be able to import.

You should contact whoever generated the .ics and let them know of these 
problems.
