I have had a problem with the org mode calendar export with emacs.
It looks like org mode uses some uid generation exe which
generates non unique UIDs. I am not sure why this is to. Even when I
set the UID format to include the date format. Because of this, the ics
file import into google calendar or a thunderbird import fails to import all
tasks that were reported as Scheduled in the org mode document.
Anyone with similar experiences.? I put this up on stack overflow but
there was no response.

I'm haing the inverse problem, but I hadn't tracked it down enough to
post. I find that after importing into Apple iCal (mac 10.6), and
doing another import, I end up with two events.

@Greg:
Org-mode UIDs are ignored if they are for entries with diary sexps, as
calendar.el creates its own ids for them. This may be the cause for
double entries when you export your org file & import the ical file
multiple times and you use diary sexps.
A while ago I submitted some patches, one to calendar.el and one to
org-icalendar.el, that - besides adding export of diary-float sexps -
fixed this (i.e. org-icalendar puts a UID text-property on the entry,
picked up by calendar.el when creating the ical entries).
The patches to calendar.el were applied, but I believe the one to
org-icalendar.el should still be applied. However, I believe Bastien has
had little time lately, or maybe he's forgotten or overseen that those
patches to Emacs have already been applied. I put Bastien in the CC of
this mail, just as a reminder.
See
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2011-02/msg00668.html if
you want to try out the UID patch to org-icalendar.el. Note that you
also need a recent development Emacs (from bazaar, later than april 27th
2011) to have the other patches applied as well.
@Ghanashyam:
Above story aside, no entry should be without UID, and I think a
non-unique UID is highly improbable. Did you
check inside the ical file to see whether the entries you talk about
were eported at all? If I create a simple test file, e.g.
#+begin_src org
* test
SCHEDULED: <2011-05-19 Thu 11:00>
#+end_src
... and call C-c C-e i this entry does not get exported, but this entry would:
#+begin_src org
* test2
<2011-05-19 Thu 12:00>
#+end_src
i.e., SCHEDULED entries aren't exported, while others are, but this does
not seem to have anything to do with UIDs.
Regards,
Niels.

Its not about being exported or missing in export. The problem is the ics
file has all the entries but multiple entries have the same UID which is my
issue.

Ok. I assume this is `org-icalendar-use-scheduled'. I did not know of it.

Could you please provide a minimal example of an org file + provide info
on your system setup (os, emacs version, org version, relevant
org-icalendar-* vars) so that we might be able to reproduce this?

Niels

Hi Niels,
I had faced this issue quite a couple of weeks back and I kept on trying to
export the calendar the whole day
doing adjustments to the UID format, and I could get the UID format to have
only 7 to 8 characters.
I was suprised to see long UIDs being generated today with like
SC-7ea97bae-a785-4455-8af7-6688cb8f7170 and
looks like these are unique. I had never checked the export after that whole
day of struggle. May be following a
restart the changes might have taken place.
This sounds so silly now. I apologize for wasting your time and effort. I am
really sorry about this.

Oh well, this happens to all of us sometimes. Glad that it works now!
