As a follow-up on this:

I managed to get freebusy working ok (turned out to be an access rights issue in my apache 
config - see the "Free/busy - how does it work?" tread).

I then set up a private calendar for my users and found it was not being used by free-busy. 
None of the calendar items in that calendar were being marked as busy time.

I finally fixed this by setting the "Other" permissions on this calendar only (and disable Read, 
Write and Delete permissions). With that set, free-busy will take the private calendar into 
account.

Geert
