Thanks for your pointers (and sorry for not acknowledging them
earlier.)

I still haven't quite satisfactorially solved this problem. My current
method is to use (org-write-agenda) and specify a .ics file. However,
this doesn't seem to include entries from my ~/diary file (which *are*
included in my agenda view). I have org-agenda-include-diary set to T
but "~/diary" is not in my org-agenda-files. (Which I just tested and
it seems [quite reasonably] that only org mode files can go in this
list.)

Is it possible for org-write-agenda to include ~/diary information?
