I'm not really *syncing* my Org agenda files with Google Calendar.

I don't use Google Calendar to add new events; I just use it to check
events that I have in my Org agenda files. So what I basically do, is
that I export my agenda files to a single .ics file, then ask Google 
to import this as a new calendar.

I've cron'ed this script: 

#!/bin/bash
/usr/local/bin/emacs --batch --eval \
"(progn (load-file \"~/elisp/testing/org/org.el\") \
        (load-file \"~/elisp/testing/org/org-install.el\") \
        (load-file \"~/elisp/config/org-batch-config.el\") \
        (setq org-combined-agenda-icalendar-file \"~/org/cal/org.ics\")
        (setq org-agenda-files (quote (\"~/org/bzg.org\"))))" \
    -f org-export-icalendar-combine-agenda-file

It keeps an updated version of org.ics on my computer. Then I rsync this
file with the web location Google is aware of.

For me it seems much easier to always modify events from Org and then
keep some web interface updated, than to try to achieve real syncing...
