Free/Busy URLs are not the same as remote subscriptions.  FB URLs 
provide an iCal file that contains times when you are free and busy.  
Remote subscriptions involves adding a remote URL for a calendar that 
gets displayed in Kronolith.  Or in, the 2.1 Kronolith branch, you can 
also use a desktop client to subscribe to a Kronolith calendar.

The URL for subscribing to a calendar won't be the FB URL.  It will be 
something like 
http://horde.example.com/horde/kronolith/month.php?display_cal=<your 
calendar id>.  On a Kronolith HEAD install, this URL is available by 
clicking on the My Calendars icon, and under Edit Calendars, select the 
calendar.  The URL will show you what to give to someone to subscribe 
to the calendar.

Yes, any client that can handle FB URLs should be able to work with the 
Free/Busy info Kronolith generates.  But again, FB and remote 
subscription of calendars are two entirely different things.
