The URL looks incorrect. Please ensure that you are copying the correct XML link provided by Google Calendar.

Thank you for the quick response.
I was unable to find the information about extract the 'private' URL.
The URL I used was the one I got to view the calendar.

I have experimented with the information and found that I can load my calendar, or at least one that I have the password for. However, what I was after was to retrieve the calendar of an organization I am involved with so I do not have to specifically go to the Google site.

So, it seems that this is not a bug. For lack of a means of removing it I have changed the status to RESOLVED INVALID.
