This will present you with a list of calendars, including some "internal" collections like "inbox".  Look in the list for the ones with MIME Type = (collection, calendar) .  If you're using the default calendar, it will be called "calendar", and therefore your URL should be /calendars/users/username/calendar/ , otherwise it will have a guid for its name.  To find which guid-named calendar is the one you want, click on each one and look for "displayname" within the page.  Once you find the right calendar, that's the guid you want to use for the URL.

Ah, assuming you are passing the right username and password to curl, try using --digest in your curl command line because basic auth is off by default for Lion calendar server.
