There seems to be no way to export recurring events from calendar. You can
export/import a flat csv or excel file of calendar events, but when it comes
to getting dynamic information from Outlook's calendar it's nonexistent.

You're correct. I got around this limitation by synchronizing data to a
PDA, then to my final destination from there.

I actually happen to have Windows Mobile on my Motorola Q. So can I just
install Active Sync on my new computer and sync it from there?

Yay! That worked. Active Sync on a my new computer imported the recurring
events. How wacky that Microsoft Outlook has to make it pain to backup one's
calendar.

I suspect it's a case of vendor lock-in, and a lack of real concrete CSV
standard for defining recurring items and exceptions since this really
requires iCal/vCal or something similarly more complex then CSV.

However, where there is a will there is a work-around.
