iCal: getting Error 400 Bad Request when trying to invite people

Hello everybody.
I get the annoying error:

"HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request to operation CalDAVWriteEntityQueuableOperation"

when I invite people in a newly added iCal appointment.

Any clues about how to solve this?
I'm using SL 10.6.6 clients based on a SL 10.6.6 Server

Mac Mini Server, Mac OS X (10.6.6)

Not sure if this will help anyone, but I started receiving this error a few days ago. The error would not allow me to add new events, invite attendees or allow other to accept invitations. I started console, and tried to add an event.... this is the report...

... I guessed that the "#" in the file referenced in the last paragraph was the problem. so I found the attached file in the calendar and deleted it. This solved the problem and returned the calendar to normal operation.
