Which exact version are you running? OpenSync 0.22?

I guess this could be an issue due to conversion from iCalendar to vCalendar 
which is hopefully only done by OpenSync and the format plugin called 
"vformat". (In 0.22 this was/is shipped by OpenSync itself)

Note: vCalendar doesn't really know about Timezones, at least not the same 
detailed way as iCalendar does. So we used to see here various problems in the 
past.

Could you give me more detailed information which versions are used so i can 
have a quick look which formats are used.

best regards,
Daniel
