The calendar files where KAlarm stores its alarms are normally the *.ics files in ~/.kde/share/apps/kalarm - calendar.ics is the one which contains the active alarms. You can verify the calendar locations are by doing View -> Show Calendars, and either hover the mouse over each calendar, or right click on it and choose Show Details.

As for the problem running KAlarm, what version do you have? Find this out by opening a terminal window and running KAlarm from there. Type:

kalarm --version

Also, it could be useful to check if any error messages appear in the terminal when you try to run KAlarm. Just type

kalarm

Copy any error messages in your reply.
