The real, honest answer is: phpIcalendar was never intended to solve  
this problem, and will require an extensive rewrite to do so.

You can hack around this problem by having all of the calendars be in  
subfolders, and limit the write access to each subfolder using apache  
controls.

But yes, it's a hack.
