The other calendar is not a subscribed calendar, but it does contain  
events imported (not subscribed) from another calendar that may be  
ical 1.0 format (from the www.hebcal.com website).

In iCal I deleted all events and tasks from the Palm iQue calendar.
In Missing Sync I set the Mark/Space Events conduit to Desktop  
overwrites handheld.
I hotsynced.

The duplicates came back worse than ever! Where are they coming from?  
They were deleted from iCal and if the desktop is overwriting the  
handheld they shouldn't be coming back to the desktop!

See the following URL for a picture. All of the black events are the  
new duplicates.

Sync History gives the following message:
