Hi

I *can get my calendar into Google Calendar  (except that for some  
reason it does not show times, investigating)

with your modifications you completely broke the .ics file structure,  
neither iCal on my mac nor google calendar would parse the file ... I  
guess wihtout being too familiar with the ical format that all BEGIN:  
tags need somewhere an END: tag ...

as per 30boxes ... obviously their beta import tool does not handle  
time-zones properly, I am sending times as

> DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20061021T081500Z
> DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20061021T101500Z

and they convert that (independently of time zone settings on 30b) to

> Time: Oct 21, 2006 3:15am-5:15am

which is exactly what you are experiencing
I guess they need to fix that at their end

;-)
