My problem was that I made the holiday groups unavailable with the
Defaults.plist file, but did not first de-select them from the
templates/users.  So I effectively made it impossible to remove the
holidays!

So I restored the original Defaults.plist and then disabled the holiday
groups from the template user, and then re-hid the holiday groups.

Thanks again for those bug links.  Yes, it would be really handy to be able
to add holidays via the scheduler instead of having to look up dates and
enter many years in advance.

But thanks, at least I got rid of those that didn't make any sense to us!
