Hi Matthias,

If you have an expanded event you don't have the original. I think that
the general solution to this is that you have to:

(a) Fetch the original VCALENDAR (not expanded, probably via GET)
(b) Modify it to add your exception
(c) PUT it back to the server.
(d) Refresh your expanded view.

From my reading of the RFC the <expand>ed event may well not contain
full information about the event series, so the only solution will be to
fetch the unexpanded series.

Cheers,
Andrew.
