Dan,
This seems to be a bug in our servers. I've opened a defect report for it here:
http://code.google.com/p/gdata-issues/issues/detail?id=866
The problem is that the timezone you're specifying is invalid, which
is causing our servers to behave badly when trying to access that
calendar. The workaround is to use a valid timezone name. In this
case, use 'US/Mountain'.

Unfortunately there's no batch access to the calendar list feed. You
can check for the existence of a batch feed by looking for a link in
the feed with rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#batch";.
If this is something you'd like to see, please feel free to open a
feature request here:
