How have you set it up to sync? By USB cable? iCloud? Exchange calendar? Google Calendar? Yahoo?

I am using a USB cable.
I can add an appointment to iCal and it will sync to my iPhone, but this appointment on my iPhone is not updating iCal on my Mac.

You might consider using iCloud for that. Has worked well for me.

I don't know what you are missing. Calendar sync works seamlessly for me, between iCal on my Mac, Calendar on my iPhone, iCloud web calendar, MS Exchange calendar and Calendar on my phone.

You may have a corrupt calendar database on one or the other. Or you may need to Reset Sync History on your Mac. This may help: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4337
