This just gives me an empty ics file!
For example
#+STARTUP: content hidestars
* TODO feb7-todo
SCHEDULED: <2010-02-07 Sun>
* TODO feb8-todo
SCHEDULED: <2010-02-08 Mon>
* feb9-event
SCHEDULED: <2010-02-09 Tue>
* feb10-event
SCHEDULED: <2010-02-10 Wed>
* EOF
(http://ozymandias.dk/test/test6275.org)
With my custom setting
'(org-icalendar-include-todo (quote all))
I have feb7-todo and feb8-todo in my ics file after a C-C C-e i
export. The other two are nowhere to be seen.
(http://ozymandias.dk/test/test6275.ics)
Your suggestion
'(org-icalendar-include-todo nil)
gives me an ics-file with no entries.
Are you saying there is a way to get non-TODO entries into the ics
file?
By the way, org-print-icalendar-entries is really difficult to
understand. Maybe you could split it up. The function appears to
generate VTODOs when org-icalendar-include-todo is non-nil and VEVENTs
when the timestamp begins with <%%. Is the latter related to the diary
time-format?

Maybe. If org-mode works as documented then perhaps all is good.
I can work around my problem by changing org-icalendar.el to use
VEVENT where it now uses VTODO and only use TODOs in org-files. This
will generate an ics-file with the TODO entries when
org-icalendar-include-todo is non-nil.
I do not know much about the ics format so I cannot tell you what is
the correct thing to do here. It would be useful if other people could
tell about their experience in importing ics-files into various tools
to gauge the VTODO support. Maybe only VEVENT should be used.
