I've found that using that setting doesn't always work.  In fact, I'm  
right now having to do a 'Reset' sync to fix my dupes which should  
guarantee that the iCal settings are the master and the Treo will be  
a copy (as best as possible).  You do not have to reset your entire  
Treo just to fix the calendar DB.

Steps:
1) Hold the 'option' key down while you click on the Calendar  
settings.  This will reveal the 'Advanced Options' button in the  
settings sheet.
2) Click on the 'Unregister Sync Client' and click OK.
3) Set sync settings to only sync the Events and start the sync.
4) A dialog popup will ask if you really want to unregister the  
calendar sync client.  Be sure to check the 'Delete All' checkbox  
before you click OK.  Otherwise, you may still have dupes.

I have found this method works well.  I'm afraid I have to use it  
often as my Treo and iCal frequently get out of sync and can't be  
recovered any other way :-(.
