So here's what I did:

Put some events in my iphone while I was disconnected from my local network
Connected my phone to my network
Opened Horde -> the calendar was not changed (i.e. the stiuff I added in
the iphone was not sync'ed with Horde)
in the iphone, I disabled the wifi connection and re-enabled it
Horde sync'ed with my iphone.

While connected to the network, I tested the setup by creating an event on
one device and modifying it ont he other device to see if they both can
pickup the changes.  Works as far as I know.

I am just puzzled as to why it needs a manual sync....

the activesync log has this in it:
