It was not a good description.

A user "FOO"'s calendar was not viewable from other group members.

This happens when "FOO"'s calendar gets created before the group gets
created.

I had to manually add an entry into horde_datatree_attributes table to
make it viewable for other group members. Following is the entry I added.

horde=# select * from horde_datatree_attributes where datatree_id = 10 and
attribute_name = 'perm_groups';
 datatree_id | attribute_name | attribute_key | attribute_value 
-------------+----------------+---------------+-----------------
          10 | perm_groups    | 7             | 14
(1 row)

I noticed that all other group members who's calendar gets created after
the group gets created this 'perm_groups' entry.
