Resource calendars in Outlook connector

Question

I'm sure I am missing something terribly simple, but I'm hoping someone can advise me on subscribing to resource calendars in the Outlook connector. We are running System Messaging Server 6.2-7.05, SUNWics 116577-42 (2005Q4 + patches) against DS 5.2.5 on Solaris 10.
I have been creating resource calendars without problems, such as:
cn=Sliger Room 242, ou=resource_calendars,dc=fsu,dc=edu has cn: Sliger Room 242
cn=Sliger Room 242, ou=resource_calendars,dc=fsu,dc=edu has icsCalendar: ucs-sliger242
cn=Sliger Room 242, ou=resource_calendars,dc=fsu,dc=edu has icsDWPHost: calsvr.fsu.edu
If the resource calendar is owned by an Outlook user, it shows up for them just fine, and if they give access to other users, they users can subscribe in webmail, but I don't seem to be able to get the resources to show up in Outlook so that one can subscribe there without going through webmail.
First I thought that perhaps they needed to be visible to the Outlook GAL, so I reconfigured the GAL to include objectclass=icsCalendarResource. But though the objects can then be seen, the are still not found when searching for calendars to subsribe to, either by searching for a calendar name or by the owner's name.
I'd be grateful if someone could point me to a document for the dense, or recommend some gotcha's to check for.
Thanks,
Ethan

Thanks Shane,
I do appreciate you having a look. On the LDAP that the calendar server hits I see the query:

When I query for "Show shared calendars available whose user_id is Sliger" There is also quite a bit of chatter on the LDAP that backs the Global Address Book, but I'm not sure how relevant that is (be happy to share if it would be useful)
Running the top query returns:
ekromhout@ra:~$ ldapsearch -h v492.ucs.fsu.edu -D "cn=directory manager" -b "dc=fsu,dc=edu" -W -x '(&(icsCalendarOwned=*Sliger*)(objectClass=icsCalendarUser))' icsCalendarOwned

And the "icsCalendarOwned: ucs-sliger242$Sliger Room 242" is calendar I was hoping to add that has been read, invite, and availability shared with the Outlook user.
