That's exactly the problem: 
* Korganizer has a default calendar ("Default Calendar")
* The calendar is "local file resource" pointing to 
/home/jurian/.kde/share/apps/korganizer/std.cs and is in the vCalendar format
* The file (^^) exists and is like the one I attached with the previous message

Conclusion: /me doesn't see a thing :p

If using Akonadi is a possible option, I can change towards Akonadi. But even 
a normal file isn't working so I have my doubts about it.
