From rfc2445:

"the "DTSTART" and "DTEND" properties specify an inclusive time window 
that surrounds the busy time information;"

That doesn't really say much in my opinion, but when publishing freebusy 
information it only makes sense if the time between DTSTART and DTEND 
that is not marked as busy, is free.

But besides that, you are right. Something is rotten about the 
DTSTART/DTEND values you have there. Please compare the .ifb with 
the .pfb file(s) for that user 
in /kolab/var/kolab/www/freebusy/cache/<username> and the output of 

/kolab/bin/dbtool -d /kolab/var/kolab/www/freebusy/cache/pfbcache.db  -D

(install package dbtool if you dont have the dbtool binary).
