I know the thread is quite old but the solution seems to work for me. Almost that is.
I made some changes because I have multiple calendars to sync and md5’s output differs from md5sum’s.

When I change an event on one mac the online .ics file gets updated. I close iCal, call the script from the 2nd mac. The output:
----------------------------

Updating local ical…
Done! Phew, glad this is over.

The folder ~/Library/Application Support/iCal/Sources/******-******-******-******-******.calendar now contains an updated version of corestorage.ics and the backup corestorage.ics.old.
When I open corestorage.ics in my favorite editor (TextMate) I can find the event change I made on the other system. When I launch iCal the event is not updated.

In the folder ~/Library/Calendars I found more calendar data.

Could it be that Apple changed the location of the main iCal data storage? Am I updating in the wrong place?

Thanks for any hints on this one.

Both in the shell script and in the do shell script instruction in the AppleScript, you can abbreviate your home directory using ~

Instead of command; if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then …, you can write if command; then

Furthermore, I do not understand why you use wget -c (continue download), as the script only tries to download the calendar file once.

I had to change one line. Instead of

$WGET -c –http-user=$LOGIN –http-password=$PASSWORD $WEBDAV -O $NEWCAL

I needed

$WGET -c –http-user=$LOGIN –http-passwd=$PASSWORD $WEBDAV -O $NEWCAL
