It's an ancient version of Debian, 3.2.35, running an old version of calendar server (I can't work out how to get it to tell me which one).

Nothing. The error log shows a lot of PROPFINDs, which I think is just the clients connecting successfully, but any write operation produces those rollbacks.

Here are the logs where I launch a client, and edit an event: <http://dpaste.org/7343Q/>.

The iCal client on a machine running Leopard has obviously not saved any of its events locally, because its calendar is completely empty now.

Actually yes:

05/03/2013 08:39:06.529 CalendarAgent[6251]: Invalid char _ for PropertyName in line 7
05/03/2013 08:39:06.540 CalendarAgent[6251]: Unexpected EOF, returning last token as fallback

But that's all.

Thanks,

Daniele
