You need to use the File | Import and Export wizard if you want to do bulk
vCal/iCal import.

I tried that with a vcal file and got an import fail message. The same file imports in to palm destop with no problems.

its missing the expected VERSION: element.

When I double click on the vcal file I get a message that says ther is a conflict between the Lunar and the gregorian calender. Gregorian is the default.

I've seen that with some other iCal items, but this one worked fine for me.
I'm running SP1.

Single events import just fine, however its the batch that gets rejected. Any ideas on how to resolve?

No, since I can't reproduce the problem and have seen no other reports of
anything similar. You might try Help | Detect and Repair.
