Default Import .ICS All-Day Events from a different timezone

I am trying to import some all day events from a different timezone. For
instance
The host computer is on CST and I am on MST.

Here is the ICS content:
BEGIN:VEVENT
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20080915
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20080916
X-MICROSOFT-CDO-ALLDAYEVENT:TRUE
UIDYNACAL_0_1830258_7475764
SUMMARY:A Test 1
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Archbold\nDistrict Events\nA Test 1\n
LOCATION:
CATEGORIESistrict Events
END:VEVENT

The DTStart and DTEnd are both floating so the all day event should work.
(It does on Google calendar)

What do I need to change to get this to work?

Default Import .ICS All-Day Events from a different timezone

What error do you get when you try?

I got not a valid ics but it works as expected once I add this to the
beginning (copied from an all day event I saved as an event).
BEGIN:VCALENDAR
PRODID:-//Microsoft Corporation//Outlook 12.0 MIMEDIR//EN
VERSION:2.0
METHOD:PUBLISH
X-MS-OLK-FORCEINSPECTOROPEN:TRUE

I also had to add END:VCALENDAR at the very end.

Sorry, I have been working on this long enough that I neglected to put the
header and footer in.

I am not getting an error. The problem that I have is that the event comes
across, not as a all-day event, but as a 2 day event from say 9/15/2008
11:00am to 9/16/2008 11:00am.

Thanks for your time.
