iCal un-publishes every time I write a new event

Every time I write a new event in iCal it un-publishes it, even if I check the box for "publish events automatically." What is wrong? What do I have to do so I don't have to keep publishing it every time?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.7)

Greetings,


1. First make an iCal backup: Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal 1 at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.



2. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:

Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical

Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)

Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)

---NOTE: Removing these files may 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.



Hope that helps.
