can you put your logs/osafsrv.log in a place that we can see it (on a
web server, for instance)? if not, please send it to me offlist.

there is a known issue with cosmo
(https://bugzilla.osafoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5340) that sending
a REPORT to a nonexistent collection or a non-collection resource
causes 501 to be returned rather than the appropriate 404 or 403.

the second url is appropriate. the first url is that of your home
directory, which is not a calendar itself. it is just a place for you
to store things, including calendars. as i mentioned before, logging
into scooby autocreates a calendar named "Scooby" in your home
directory. the second url points to that calendar.
