"The server responded with an error"

I keep getting server errors in iCal like this:

"The server responded with an error.

The request for “xxxxx” in “calendar” in account “xxxxx@me.com” failed.

The server responded with
“HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error”
to operation CalDAVWriteEntityQueueableOperation.

I have the option to "Stay Offline", "Revert to Server" or "Go Online". Clicking "Go Online" just reproduces the error.

Why is this happening? Anything I can do?

Mac Pro (Early 2008) 2.8Ghz, Mac OS X (10.6.4), 10 GB RAM, 23" ACD, lots of storage!

That sounds like something went wrong in the database the governs syncing.

Restore from your backup to restore your calendar.

Reset your sync history: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iSync/3.1/en/9247.html and then follow the steps:

Go into iCal > Preferences > Accounts and delete the MobileMe account from here.

If you are using it you can then re-add it and be careful to enter in the correct name and password.

Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
__NOTE: Removing these files will remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.

Once the computer is back up and running open iCal and test.
