Make sure that you copied the URL from the user that you shared the  
calendar with, not from the user that shared the calendar. And of  
course make sure to use the credentials in Thunderbird of the user  
that you shared with too.

I believe the problem has been partially fixed.  I now get prompted to download the ICS file if I put in the WebDAV/iCS link in a web browser.  Upon opening, the iCS file does have all of the items in it.
I no longer have the message in Thunderbird saying that the calendar is momentarily unavailable.  However, the CalDAV link doesn't appear to be loading anything into Thunderbird; the calendar is empty in Thunderbird.

The permission denied issue - the "share_owner" row in the kronolith_shares table had a capital letter to start off.  This has been an issue with other customers in the past where they login and get 'permission denied' when trying to look at their calendars.  If their username is any different when they login versus what shows in the database case-sensitive wise, it doesn't work.
Is there any 'long term' fix for ensuring that Horde doesn't check the case sensitive username?
