You need to create a repeating event, not an event spanning multiple  
days, which aren't supported on the Palm OS.

Multi-day all day events
If an all day event lasting more than one day is created in iCal, it  
appears as a banner, spanning multiple days. The Palm calendar  
application cannot do this – an event must begin and end on the same  
date.

When a banner event is synchronized from iCal, it will only appear on  
the first day of the span in the Palm calendar. If a change is made  
to the event on the Palm, the original iCal event will be changed to  
be a single-day all day event because of the parameters in the Palm  
event.

If an all-day repeating event is created on the Palm, it will sync as  
discrete reperating events in iCal.
