As the reported problem is not with calendar or alarm *display*, but
with calendar *sharing* and permissions, that suggests a SOGo Connector
or Integrator problem. The bug is not present in Thunderbird/Lightning
alone, by definition.
Even if it were a Lightning bug, SOGo's frontend tools require an old
version of Lightning, so bug reports against that would not be
particularly fruitful.
The SOGo project bills Thunderbird integration as a selling point, so
it's reasonable to expect problems with the SOGo/Thunderbird user
experience to be taken seriously. This one has been reported before in
the time that I've used SOGo.
Do SOGo's frontend plugins have their own list? They do not appear to.
If this is not the appropriate place to discuss problems with the
SOGo/Thunderbird user experience, where is?

This is an inadequate answer.
1) If reminders from shared calendars don't work in Thunderbird, they
should be disabled by default;
2) Reminders from shared calendars SHOULD work in Thunderbird, because
it is an obvious thing to want to be able to do.
This has been an issue for years. The problems arising from this bug
have made me look like kind of a jerk for pushing SOGo in my organization.
As it works in the SOGo Webinterface, the error must be in Lightning.
Lightning is developed by Mozilla
And sorry, but this is a SOGo list not a Thunderbird / Lightning /
Mozilla list.
Did you open a bug report for that in the Mozilla Lightning bug tracking
system?
Kind regards,

I am running into an issue lately with Thunderbird. I don't know how
long this
has been going on. This problem may have existed on previous
versions of SOGo
or the Thunderbird extensions, but I didn't notice it until recently.
The problem occurs when a person (#1) is subscribed to another
person's (#2)
calendar (view only). If person #2 has current alarms set for
events, these
alarms will show up as reminders on person #1's Thunderbird. When
person #1
attempts to dismiss these alarms he/she gets the following error:
"An error occurred when writing to the calendar Bob Smith!"
Error Code: MODIFICATION_FAILED
Description:
Status Code: 403, The user lacks the required permission to perform the
request.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
<body><h3>An error occurred during object publishing</h3><p>tried to
access
private object (0x0x25ca428, SoClass=SOGoAppointmentObject)</p></body>
</html>
When person #1 attempts to set person #2's calendar to not show
reminders, this
setting does not take effect. Upon restart of Thunderbird, the "Show
Reminders" box is once again checked. The only way to turn off the
reminders
is to login to the SOGo web interface and uncheck the "Show Alarms"
box for
that particular person's calendar.
This problem occurs on both Windows (XP and 7) and Linux (Ubuntu 10.04)
clients. Right now, using the web interface to disable alarms is a
suitable
workaround. However, it would be nice to have this functionality
working in
Thunderbird, as well. I don't know whether this is a SOGo
(extension?) issue,
or a Thunderbird issue.
If anyone has some suggestions to solve this issue, I'm all ears!
In Lightning and SOGo you can disable alarms for each calendar.
Select it, right click it and choose "Properties".
There is an option "Show Reminders" (Lightning) or "Show Alarms" (SOGo).
Just disable it ;-)
