That all sounds about right, but IIRC Apples iCal expects a different URI to that of sunbird/lightning. So rather than the URI above, you'd use http://your_IP_address:8008/principals/__uids__/<<guid>>/ instead (where <<guid>> is the GUID of 'admin' which you can lookup in your accounts.xml).

This seems pretty odd/daft/pointless/full-of-lock-in-badness to me, but may still be the case. Cheers.
