The code is quite long, so I recommend just downloading here:

Description:
It allows you to create a To Do in iCal using text entered in QS text
entry mode. And yes, the iCal plugin does this too. But this action
lets you specify which Calendar you want to add your To Dos to (the
plugin version uses iCal's default calendar).
Even more importantly, this action lets you specify Dates, Priorities,
and Notes to go along with your To Do using a simple syntax.
Where to Save:
~/Library/Application Support/Quicksilver/Actions
Usage:
Activate Quicksilver into text entry mode using a trigger, or by
activating QS and typing a period. Enter your To Do, hit tab, find the
action and hit enter. you can specify Dates, Priorities, and Notes to
go along with your To Do using a simple syntax.
The syntax is as follows:
You can signify priority of 1-4 using "!" (so !4 is highest
priority).
The default priority, if you don't enter one, is Low (or 2).
You can specify dates following the @ symbol:
ie "Don't forget the milk @11/01/09".
Date entry is relatively flexible. you can enter numerical
dates using the format mm/dd/yy.
You can also use mm/dd or dd, which will create a todo at the
next time your mm/dd or dd happens.
(so if you enter a todo on october 30th, 2009 and just use @11
it will assume you're talking about Nov.11, 2009.
If use had used 10/29, it would assume Oct 29th, 2010).
You can also enter dates using natural language. The action
understands the following:
Tomorrow, Names of Days of the week refer to the next time
that day arises.
and "Next " + day of the week refers to the second time that
day arises.
Examples: "Don't forget the milk @Next Wednesday !1" and
"Don't forget the milk @Tomorrow !1"
You can add additional notes to your Todo following "#" :
Examples "here's a todo @12/09/09 !4 #don't forget the milk"
You can specify any combination of the parameters.
Examples "Don't forget the milk"
"Don't forget the butter !4"
"Don't forget the cereal #and the milk"
"Don't not forget the margerine @Tomorrow !1" all work
Two last things:
Don't use a space between your symbol and entry.
So don't use "@ Next Wednesday" or "! 2". Use "@Next
Wednesday", and "!2".
And keep the To Do event name first and the note last.
Specifying Which Calendar to use works as follows:
The first time this is run, the action will ask for the name
of the calendar you want to associate future To Dos with.
The calendar name will be stored in a file named
ToDoMoreCalendarName.txt, which will be saved in ~/Library/
Preferences.
If you change your mind in the future, or enter it
incorrectly just type: "!reset" and run the action, the action will
then ask you for a new Calendar name.
Or, you can delete the preferences file, and the next time
you run the action it will ask for a new calendar name.
