I've found a small bug with exporting ical files from read-only org
buffers. Create a simple buffer, e.g.:
* test1
<2012-01-12 Thu>
and then hit C-x C-q to make the buffer read-only. Then do C-c C-e i
to export an ical file. You get an error that the buffer is read-only.
I think this is due to the call to org-refresh-category-properties,
which can't update text proprties.
My workaround is to do:
(setq inhibit-read-only nil)
so that text properties can be added to read-only buffers. This could
be done locally within the ical export functions if others thought
sensible, for which I can send a patch if desired.

Could this be done more generally? I think I've run into this for other
export targets as well, although it may be my memory that is faulty
here. I use RCS for version control for standalone files and often have
files read-only from which I want to export.
Thanks,
eric

I also use RCS, which is how I got caught out today (trying to set up
Eric's neat guide for gettting org->ical-> google calendar; thanks for
that Eric.) Before sending the bug, I tried exporting to pdf, which
worked fine; what other exporters do you use?

Mostly, I export to PDF but also less frequently to HTML, ODT and
ICAL... I had imagined this to be a generic issue as I could not
imagine that there would be anything special about exporting to ICAL...
I have just tried a read-only document I have and everything has worked
fine. Strange. Definitely faulty (wetware) memory; time for a RAM
upgrade ;-)
Apologies for the noise.
And you're very welcome, by the way!

I have just run into another case where text properties and/or overlays
clash with a read-only file: column view (M-x org-columns, C-c C-x
C-c). In a read-only file, I get the error
org-columns-compute-all: Buffer is read-only: #<buffer test.org>
If I make the file writable, org-columns works but, of course, does not
actually modify the file.
Thanks,
eric
