this seems to be the alarm daemon not starting up on evolution startup,
and starting instead when the calendar folders are opened. Could you
check if that's the case? That is:

$ killev
$ evolution &

wait some seconds

$ ps ax | grep alarm

the last command should show a evolution-alarm-notify process. If not,
that's the problem.
