I should probably mention that I'm using cvs evolution (HEAD), from late
last week...
Ok, I tried that, but still no entries.  The output from gpilotd is
quite extensive.  Below is a snippet, for example:

Here's the calendar.ics file:


        BEGIN:VCALENDAR
        CALSCALE
         :GREGORIAN
        PRODID
         :-//Ximian//NONSGML Evolution Calendar//EN
        VERSION
         :2.0
        END:VCALENDAR



Here's the tasks.ics file:


        BEGIN:VCALENDAR
        CALSCALE
         :GREGORIAN

         :-//Ximian//NONSGML Evolution Calendar//EN
        VERSION
         :2.0
        END:VCALENDAR

They look remarkably similar to me.
I noticed the pilot-*db files are in db 1.8.5 format.  I'm not sure if
that's correct or not.   Here is what is present in the Tasks directory:


me2v reliant Tasks $ ls -l
total 20
-rw-r--r--    1 me2v     users          97 Mar 14 10:37 folder-metadata.xml

That's good to know.  I moved my ~/evolution directory, and let
evolution create a new one, but entries from my Visor still do not show
up in Evolution.  Is there a setting I may have missed somewhere in
Evolution?  I didn't see anything relevant, and importing the pilot*db
files doesn't work.
