Stupid question #1: have you clicked on 'share my calendar...'?

I take it you're all on the same domain/workgroup etc.

have you added him to the permissions on the calender?

i'd suggest setting up the permisions as follows

Set permisions on "Outlook Today - XXX" as Defult - Reviewer.

Set permisions on callender as needed - i.e. name of person editor access.

just to make sure when your trying to open the shared callender you are selecting rom the drop down tab Callender and not inbox?

this is presuming you are using exchange and MS Outlook.

The biggest issue users here have when sharing any of their mailbox (be it inbox, calendar etc) is that they forget to grant even the most basic rights at the top level of the mailbox before they give rights further down the tree.

It can be confusing - it does actually go against most of Microsoft's security model where by assigning rights at the top they automatically cascade down the tree.

So, firstly remember to give that user some basic viewing rights at the top level - if attached to an Exchange server that will be "Mailbox - John Smith".
Then give more specific rights to the calendar further down the tree.
