Palm Centro - Entourage sync (through ical)

I've got a Palm Centro and want to sync entourage calendar with the centro. I've read up and see that I need to go through ical to do this. I'm very close with one issue....

I have 2 problems I'm hoping someone here can help me with.

1. Any calendar entries put onto the centro get synced with ical but then ical does not transfer it to entourage. entries on entourage do get sent to ical then up to the centro.

I'm running with entourage 2008 version 12.1.4 (081024) and ical version 3.0.5 (1270)

2. on my entourage calendar I now have duplicate entries for everything.

can anyone shed some light? thanks.

In order for your calendar entries to appear in Entourage, they need to be
in the iCal calendar called "Entourage". If they are in any other calendar,
they will not get synched.

2. on my entourage calendar I now have duplicate entries for everything.

Duplicate entries are a known side-effect that can occur. Search this

I have deleted all calendars except for "Entourage". When I put a calendar entry into the centro, ical seems to create a new calendar to handle the entry. It's called "unfiled". What do I need to set up to force the centro entries into the "Entourage" calendar of ical instead of ical creating a new one for those entries?

thank you I will do this next time it happens. unfortunately following the steps above and deleting the random calendars of ical completely cleared out my entourage calendar. Aw well. Will focus on actually getting entries back into entourage 1st.
