I have it working now. The point seems to be that Lightning (version
0.8, Lightning is a Thunderbird plugin) saves only one username/password
correct and does not ask for another password on the same server, but
uses the old one. When I remove the old username/password and restart
the application there is a dialog-window what asks for a username and
password. Then it works, but only with one calendar per server.

Maybe this problem is gone with a newer version of Ligtning, the actual
version is 1.0-beta1.

I also use now this on the commandline to create a calendar for the
user. Not sure it's really nessesary:

curl -X MKCALENDAR -u username:secret \
  http://server:8008/calendars/users/marcel/calendar
