Maybe. Or Evolution has replaced your registration by its own. D-Bus
life is hard.

Note, that you cannot register for just one method; you can register
only for a whole service. `dbus-register-method' does it silently for
you.

Install d-feet (very useful anyway!), and check, which application has
registered for the service org.gnome.Shell.CalendarServer.

In order to bring your application in front of the service, you could
use `dbus-register-service' with the `:replace-existing' flag.
