By default X- properties are not sent from Organizer to Attendees because 
it is not always clear whether those might contain "private" data or not - 
so we took the position of never sending them by default. However, we do 
maintain a whitelist of X- properties that the server will send to 
Attendees because there are some we know are meant to be "public". You can 
add your X- property to that whitelist via the caldavd.plist. The setting 
is:

<key>Scheduling</key>
<dict>
    <key>CalDAV</key>
    <dict>
        <key>OrganizerPublicProperties</key>
        <array>
            <string>X-APPLE-DROPBOX</string>
            <string>X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION</string>
        </array>
    </dict>
</dict>

Just add your X- properties into that array. You may need to merge the 
above settings into existing ones as the Scheduling and CalDAV keys are 
used for many other options.
