UPDATE FOR TIGER: Synchronize iCal 2.x on multiple machines via WebDAV
Authored by: jeffrey1681 on Apr 14, '06 12:55:23PM

I tried following your instructions, but despite the symlink seeming to be set up correctly, when I open iCal each of the calendars has a red exclamation point next to it. If I click on one it gives me an error message that iCal was unable to load the file. The webDAV directory seems to be working fine and the symlink points to the right place when I follow it. Anyone have any ideas what happened?

UPDATE FOR TIGER: Synchronize iCal 2.x on multiple machines via WebDAV

Sorry - I don't have any suggestions. My iCal is still working with this hack.
Perhaps ensure that you're using the latest version of Mail.app, OS X, and that you followed the instructions for Tiger (and not Panther)?

Good luck!

If it tells so then it's true.
Try to open Terminal and to copy the calendar file using this symlink to somewhere else. The problem could be if: there are not enough permissions in your local filesystem (try ls -al, make sure you have 'r' flags for owner and, maybe, group), in the filesystem of the website you try to reach (check it via web-browser or via ftp-client by lookuing up these permissions) or maybe your Mac losts connection after you open that location, or you log out or... anything...
Check everything SOON AFTER you see this error message, not before.
