Great tip Scud, I had been trying to find out how to view the actual transmission!

I set up an event on the N900 without an alarm then synced, then repeated it with an event that had an alarm. There is as you say a lot of info in that log file but the following snippets I think is where the issue is.

Event without alarm log

Code:
vCal to parse:
BEGIN:VCALENDAR
VERSION:1.0
TZ:+00
DAYLIGHT:TRUE;+01;20100328T020000;20101024T010000;GMT;BST
BEGIN:VEVENT
SUMMARY;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE;CHARSET=UTF-8:=
Test=20event
UID:511
DTSTART:20100129T125000Z
DTEND:20100129T135000Z
ATTACH:
SEQUENCE:0
LAST-MODIFIED:20100117T123018Z
DCREATED:20100117T123006Z
END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR
and then a few lines below that we get a success message and the event has been parsed successfully

Code:
vCal parsed:
{
    RawProperties =     (
                {
            Name = UID;
            Value = <353131>;
        },
                {
            Name = SEQUENCE;
            Value = <30>;
        },
                {
            Name = "LAST-MODIFIED";
            Value = <32303130 30313137 54313233 3031385a>;
        },
                {
            Name = DCREATED;
            Value = <32303130 30313137 54313233 3030365a>;
        }
    );
    "all day" = 0;
    "com.apple.syncservices.RecordEntityName" = "com.apple.calendars.Event";
    "end date" = "2010-01-29 13:50:00 +0000";
    "start date" = "2010-01-29 12:50:00 +0000";
    summary = "Test event";
}
whereas with the event that does have an alarm we have the following

Code:
vCal to parse:
BEGIN:VCALENDAR
VERSION:1.0
TZ:+00
DAYLIGHT:TRUE;+01;20100328T020000;20101024T010000;GMT;BST
BEGIN:VEVENT
SUMMARY;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE;CHARSET=UTF-8:=
Testing=20alarms=20w/log
UID:513
DTSTART:20100129T132000Z
DTEND:20100129T142000Z
ATTACH:
SEQUENCE:0
LAST-MODIFIED:20100117T130040Z
DCREATED:20100117T130040Z
AALARM:20100129T130500
;PT3M
;
END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR
and just below we get an error instead of a "vcal parsed" result

Code:
Failed to parse vCal (1) near index 97: BEGIN:VEVENT
SUMMARY;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE;CHARSET=UTF-8:=
Testing=20alarms=20w/log
UID:513
DTSTART:20100129T132000Z
DTEND:20100129T142000Z
ATTACH:
SEQUENCE:0
LAST-MODIFIED:20100117T130040Z
DCREATED:20100117T130040Z
AALARM:20100129T130500
;PT3M
;
END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR

So... I guess we have to work out exactly what "Failed to parse vCal (1) near index 97" means? Well.. I know what it means, it failed! but where that problem is coming from.. iCal or N900? The formatting of the AALARM property? on different lines like that? Any ideas?
