Moving events from one iCal calendar to another

Can anyone shed some light on why the following does not work?

tell application "iCal"
set allEvents to events of calendar "Home"
set t to events of calendar "paul@myitcv.org.uk"
repeat with theEvent in allEvents
move theEvent to end of t
end repeat
end tell

I am trying to move all events from one calendar to another....

Any help much appreciated.

iCal 4.0.1, Mac OS X 10.6.2

Your list variable t is assigned the events of your second calendar, but you are just adding items to the end of that list. Try moving the items to the actual calendar instead:

<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
font-weight: normal;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #DAFFB6;
overflow: auto;"

tell application "iCal"
repeat with anEvent in (get events of calendar "Home")
move anEvent to (end of events of calendar "paul@myitcv.org.uk")
end repeat
end tell
</pre>
