Have a look at /etc/kolab-freebusy/config.ini
Recent version of kolab-freebusy is intended to run as a webservice, no need 
to have a cronjob. For that you need to have apache (webserver) configured 
appropriatly. Default installation ships an example of configuration in 
/etc/httpd/conf.d/kolab-freebusy..conf
