Have you read the new freebusy.txt concept involving partial freebusy lists?
http://kolab.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs-kolab.cgi/doc/architecture/freebusy.txt

Now each folder that is freebusy relevant as an imap annotation
and the client needs to trigger the pfb creation via an URL.
Then a pfb collector will assemble the real fb list and (probably)
put it in a cache.

Thus an uploaded fb list can only be used as another pfb
as far as i can think.
