Loading CalDav calendars

[Nic Bernstein]

Good people,
Forgive me for wasting list bandwidth, but we've found a solution in 
DaviCal's own sync-remote-caldav.php script.  We've simply applied this 
ACL -- sam user.%.#calendars.% <admin> all -- and then use that user's 
credentials to authenticate.

    scripts/sync-remote-caldav.php -u http://<cyrus-server>:8008/dav/calendars/user/<user>/Default -U <admin> -p <password> -c /<user>/Default/ -o

Thought it best to reply to myself, again, so anyone else looking for 
this solution will find this.

Cheers,
     -nic
