Hmm, I don't have iCalendar though (not a Mac user). Though there are sites out there that will take Google Calendar and then sync it with theirs, and you can grab an .ical file from them I guess. I'll have to check it out.

Unfortunately the iCal/iCalendar/etc. terms are very overloaded and confusing. The latest standards document these are all based off of (RFC 2445) calls itself iCalendar, so that's the term I use. I think Apple's iCal program and Google's export to .ics are all using some variant of the iCalendar standard. All this is just the roundabout way of saying that you should try importing your Google Calendar file directly into calend via the "Import iCal" menu item and see what happens.

Ah ok, thanks for the clarification. I'll go reinstall the apps and try it out.

Gents, I seem to have a problem with this app, ran through the install list (about a week ago) without a problem and got the icons Calender and To-do in the extras menu, however they would not run. Says loading, then nothing. Then tonight, I uninstalled these 2 apps and ran through the revised list, however again none of the apps work. I have confirmed that i have Python 2.5 (have installed Canola, pyculator etc)
Why no work?

cd /home/user/MyDocs/.python
rm -f calend_data.dat calend_pref.dat to_do.dat
/usr/bin/calend
The rm command deletes the data files used by the apps, in case somehow there is a corrupted one preventing them from loading. The last command starts calend manually. If you see any interesting error messages with the last command that may help debug this issue.
Other items of interest:
dpkg -l python2.5 # to find your python version
The firmware version of your device, gotten via Settings->Control Panel->About product. Should look something like:
Version: 2.2007.51-3

The calendar app feels quite good but when I enter new entry in calendar it shows the time on 12 hour format even when I have 24 hour format in my N810. Like this: 20.00 start time and calendar shows 8.00, so it's impossible to know what is the starting time, 8.00 in the morning or 8.00 in the evening, not even a.m or p.m to know at what time entry should start.

You can start calend normally from the tablet like other graphical apps and use it normally. However, when you use the "Import iCal" menu option it fails in some way. Is that correct? In that case, the most helpful diagnostics for me would be if you attempt the import using "Import iCal". Once that is done, then use the "View Log" menu option and report any error messages in the log that occur after the last "Startup" message.
Starting the app from the command line like you did above should be ok for testing, but it looks like you have become root before doing so. Running it as root is undesirable and should not be necessary under any conditions. The best diagnostics come from the View Log menu option. It's mainly just startup failures like Mechdude's where running it from the command line might be helpful.

If anyone is interested in doing other testing on calend, you can backup the state of your calendar by first closing the calend app (not just minimizing it) and then doing something like this from an xterm:
cd /home/user/MyDocs/.python
cp calend_data.dat calend_data.dat.bak
Then if you want to use your previous data file close the calend app again and run (from the same directory as above):
cp calend_data.dat.bak calend_data.dat
