This refers to the kolab server I presume.
Beta1 is the last release we have made, so are you using a CVS 
version of the server?

The recommended version of KDE to act as a Kolab client
is based on KDE_3_3_BRANCH with proko2_branch from CVS.
Are you using this?
Can you point me to the readme.kolab in CVS that you have used?

This seems to refer to the KDE client:
Which version are you using now?

This is server again, as the beta1 is the latest version you 
could only upgrade to it. It would be interesting for us to know
if there is a bug like this in beta1, because then we can fix it.

Check what resources are configured in kcontrol -> KDE Resources and then in
the tab for events.

I have not heard of KDE Kolab2 client packages for fc3 yet.

Thanks, this is much appreciated.
Note: There is also a wiki you can add you information into.
