Timezone mismatch between Kontact and MyKolab.com

[Rod Sherwin]

I've been using the mykolab.com web interface and decided to experiment 
with the Kontact PIM for desktop use (on Windows 7 64-bit). The 
configuration and setup was simple but I get the following error message 
when trying to sync my calendar:

     An error occurred while reading/writing a 
Kolab-Groupware-Object(akonadi id 11,487):
     timezone not found Australia/Melbourne
     timezone not found Australia/Melbourne
     Failed to parse calendar!



Also, after clicking through a few more of the above type errors, I also 
found this one:

     An error occurred while reading/writing a 
Kolab-Groupware-Object(akonadi id 9, 581):
     k:\build\win32libs\libkolabxml-0.8.2\src\xcalconversions.h 1938: 
Failed to parse calendar



What's curious about the second error message is that I don't even have 
a k: drive on my computer.

I checked my mykolab.com settings and yes I have the timezone set to 
(GMT +11:00) Australia/Melbourne. In Kontact, I have the calendar set to 
System (Australia) and the Regional Setting to Victoria (a state of 
Australia where Melbourne is located). I also tried setting it to 
Canberra which is the same timezone.

Not sure if this is a Kontact problem or a Mykolab.com problem so I 
thought I would start here. Unless I can correct this, Kontact is pretty 
much useless for me as a PIM.

How can I get Kontact to recognise the timezone reported from the 
mykolab server?
