I wouldn't be surprised if iCal does some Google specific stuff. Which  
iCal.app version are we talking about? You are not using the Google  
tool to setup iCal.app for GCal?

Yes, thats a typical entry point query used to discover the CalDAV  
account setup.

The XML looks good. I assume that '/caldav/calendar/Personal/' exactly  
matches the URL iCal is requesting? (full HTTP request dump would be  
helpful)

Is there a 401 step involved?

I would recommend installing Darwin CalendarServer  
(calendarserver.org) as a reference and see what this is emitting. Eg  
it sends:
---snip---
         <calendar-home-set xmlns='urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:caldav'>
           <href xmlns='DAV:'>/calendars/__uids__/41770B64-643D-40FC- 
B832-9EC9BFE68861</href>
         </calendar-home-set>
---snap---
Stupid try: maybe this specific iCal codepath has no XML namespace  
processing ...?

This mailing list is a starting point. CalConnect provides additional  
resources, but you need to be a member for accessing those ...

Greets,
