Sorry, but I must have overlooked something at my last check, since my
second test had some other results.

Ok second time

*Create event in sunburd.
*Export ics file to filesystem. (content of the file is correct)
*publish the ics to OGo
*look in OGo. Time is increased with the timezone Europe/Amsterdam..(+1)
*Reload ics file. It contains now the new time from OGo.

So this is a problem with timezones in OGo with ics.
