Even though you set the ACLs properly, this won't help you by itself.  
There is a separate CALDAV sharing spec which essentially makes shared 
calendars appear under a user's own calendar-home-set. Unfortunately, 
Cyrus doesn't support this spec yet.

I don't know if there are other ways for a user to access someone else's 
calendars.

There has been talk of a sharing spec for CardDAV, but I don't believe 
any work has been done on it yet.

Hmm.  Which client are you using to edit the vCard?  I know that I used 
the CardDAVMate javascript client to add a picture and it worked.  But 
that's not to say that I don't have a bug somewhere.

Thanks for the feedback!
