Did you check to be sure the new calendar is selected to sync in the prefs?
Also, with Nine, I think you need to explicitly request a new
FOLDERSYNC so that the client picks up folder changes. I kind of
remember that client doesn't periodically issue a one on it's own
(like it should). IIRC, there is a sync/refresh icon on account
information page in Nine.

Your log shows that separate calendars are supported, but it looks
like you maybe didn't enable separate tasks and contacts etc.. (this
is what the "@Tasks@" and "@Contacts@" folder names mean).
