The operation couldn’t be completed. (com.google.HTTPStatus error 403.)

I've got a customer who gets this error when making some exceptions on their events sometimes. So in our logging this is what we get:

Google Exception GDataEntryCalendarEventException 0x1d5832d0: {v:2.1 title:Shaniquaw content: kind:calendar#event links:self visibility:event.default transparency:event.opaque eventStatus:event.confirmed times:(2013-02-04T11:00:00-06:00..2013-02-04T12:00:00-06:00) reminders:1 guestsCanInvite:YES guestsCanSeeGuests:YES} adding is failed with error : Error Domain=com.google.HTTPStatus Code=403 "The operation couldn’t be completed. (com.google.HTTPStatus error 403.)" UserInfo=0x1e19acf0 {data=<596f7520 63616e26 2333393b 74206d6f 64696679 20612063 616e6365 6c6c6564 20657665 6e74>}

{

    data = <596f7520 63616e26 2333393b 74206d6f 64696679 20612063 616e6365 6c6c6564 20657665 6e74>;

}

The problem for me is I can't really figure out WHY its happening or what to do about it. Are there any thoughts? Should we just retry again?

The hex characters in the data of the error message say "You can't modify a cancelled event".  I expect the server's warning here is correct.

Incidentally, this discussion group is for the new, JSON-based API library. Applications should be updated to use the new v3 Calendar API along with the new library.
