Help with publishing calendars

Question

Hi,
We are attempting to set up calendaring for our staff members. We are using an Xserve running OS 10.5.2, authenticating to an Open Directory Master running 10.5.2. Mail, both from a client and webmail work fine. A user can log into the group Wiki and web calendaring work just fine.
iCal 3.02 on a 10.5.2 client machine trying to publish a calendar to the server generates the following error:
Access to http://[email protected]/Home.ics is not permitted.
wwitch is the short name of a trial user.
We've made the following settings in Server Admin (v10.5):
-Click the server's name and under the Access tab, "For all services" is checked on the left and "Allow all users and groups" is checked on the right.
-iCal service, Data Store is set to a location on a 2nd disk drive on the Xserve called calendars. This folder has the same permissions set as the default location.
-iCal authentication is set to "Any Method" and is using port 8008. SSL is not enabled.
In Workgroup Manager, each user has the following settings under the Advanced Tab, Enable calendaring is checked and the server is set to mail1.egsd.org.
There is one group for these users. That group under the Basic tab has Mailing list, wiki and blog, Web Calendar, and Mailing list web archive all checked with the default web site of mail1.egsd.org selected.
Any ideas to enable the users to publish a calendar from iCal would be appreciated.

Hawg_rider,
Two quick points:
1) That name and path looks all wrong to me. I have only set-up calendars on a provisional/test basis but the paths look more like this:
http://serverfg.private:8008/principals/users/ldusseault
2) There is a whole group dedicated to iCal Server issues here: http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1234 and you're much more likely to find someone with the specific knowledge you want there.
Hope that helps,
