Sounds like there's a delegate set somewhere or maybe even a folder assistant on the PF.

Here's another method for him to try: For these home work days, create the appointment directly in the IT Shared Calendar and invited himself as a required attendee.

My manager regularly works from home and puts the days he does this in
advance into the IT Shared Calendar, which is in the public folder, and
to which everyone in the IT department has publishing editor rights. He
places the appointment into his own calendar, sets the time as 'out
of office', adds 'IT Shared Calendar' as a required attendee, and
then sends this appointment. The appointment appears in his own
calendar correctly, but bizarrely enough instead of being inputted into
the IT shared calendar within public folders; it appears in the
calendar of the help desk manager instead, which is completely useless
to everyone else in the department.

Is there any reason why this appointment gets sent to another user's
mailbox calendar instead of the public folders IT Shared Calendar? I
really am puzzled.
