I opened iCal tonight and it said it would be reset from .mac.  I
didn't want that (and didn't know why it would want to do so), so I
canceled out of it.  I reopened it, and had (approximately?) 2x the
number of calendars I should - and it died.  I reopened, and I had
(approximately?) 3x the number of calendars - and it died.  The
calendars had no names.

After a little more of this, I realized I wasn't getting anywhere, so
I started deleting files.  I wasn't getting anywhere, so I deleted
everything with that showed up on a search on "ical," and all
the .ics files, and restored iCal using Pacifist.  I opened it, and
the same thing happened - it died immediately, and on the 2nd opening
had gobs of blank calendars (no 2x here, it went straight from "home"
and "work" to gobs).

I searched on "ics" after going through the above (ical delete,
reinstall, open) twice, and find I have 156 "corestorage.ics" files,
whatever those are.

If restoring from the install disk doesn't work, I don't know what to
do.  My backup still has my Panther configuration, as I just did the
Tiger install 2 weeks ago and wanted to be positive I hadn't lost
anything before overwriting it.  Took me 3 days to get my computer
back to where it is, cleaning up after migration assistant & updating
applications, and I don't want to have to do the whole install &
update over again!

Any ideas??

Not sure if that can make a difference, but there is a background process named "iCalAlarmScheduler" that runs. Maybe it keeps the calendars somehow?

Other than that, if you deleted all files associated with iCal, I can't see
what could be wrong...

look for files called:
com.apple.ical.plist
com.apple.ical.alarmscheduler.plist
com.apple.ical.alarmscacheplist
