If you can set up Calendar Server 3.0+, I'd be happy to help you diagnose the bad 'create' behavior on the part of these clients.  But, for all I know, it's a bug in the old version of calendar server, and when you try a newer version, it might just work.

(These clients aren't going to get any better unless people use them and report bugs against them though, so please do that too.)

Creating a calendar is best accomplished via a client, the way you've been doing it.  You could try using a Mac as your client, since it's pretty likely that iCal will do something that Calendar Server 2.4 will understand.

You could also try doing a DAV request, a MKCOL with an appropriate DAV:resourcetype via something like curl, but if it isn't immediately obvious to you how to do that you probably don't want to bother with it
