New user, perplexed: CalDAV interface with Cosmo/Scooby

The folks at the Cosmo list suggested I send my query here,
so here
goes:

I'm a new user, and not much of a programmer, so please
bear with
me.  First, I want to explain my goal, in case I'm on the
wrong track
and/or someone has other suggestions.

I have a small home network.  I want to maintain a
centralised family
calendar so that we can look in one place for scheduled
commitments for
me, my wife, and my kids.  I am trying to standardise on
Evolution as a
client, as it seems to have what I need (*and* be free from
MS).
Ideally, I'd like us all to access the same calendar and
server, and
make our individual changes centrally.  Someone suggested
Cosmo and
CalDAV; from what I've read this seems like the correct
solution.

Unfortunately, I can't seem to get the interface going.  I
have
installed the OSAF bundle (0.3) and am able to login as
root, and to
create user accounts and login.  I'm creating a 'shared'
user for the
purpose of the shared calendar.  I have noticed a few
problems:

* Setting the URL in Evolution as
caldav://FQDN:port/cosmo/home/shared
doesn't allow me to enter/view anything (but then there's
nothing to
view yet).  Specifying a filename at the end of that URL
doesn't seem to
help. What I seem to get in the access.log are 401, 409 and
411 errors.

* I thought perhaps I needed to create a base calendar, so I
tried to
login to Scooby.  However, I cannot.  When I enter my
(valid, works in
Cosmo) ID I just get presented with the login page again. 
Looking in
the log, I seem to have invoked the loginfailed.js script,
but nothing
else seems to happen.

* The person who recommended Cosmo to me said that I should
see a Scooby
object when browsing the home directory via the web
interface.  However,
I do not - just a directory empty of files and tickets.

What have I done wrong?  Thanks in advance,
 -Don Levey
