Jeff,
I don't believe we have any samples that demonstrate working with the
ACLs, and while I haven't tested it myself, the Java client definitely
should has support for it.
This is documentation on working with the gAcl namespace in the Google
Calendar docs, which might help lead you in the right direction when
combined with the protocol guide for the Docuements List API:
http://code.google.com/apis/calendar/docs/2.0/developers_guide_java.html#SharingACalendar
http://code.google.com/apis/documents/docs/2.0/developers_guide_protocol.html
There's
already a feature request open to add this functionality to the PHP client:
http://framework.zend.com/issues/browse/ZF-4975
I've added a feature request for the Python client:
