Ah, fun. I see this is a known problem that Tom Morris pointed out last year: http://microformats.org/wiki/h2vx#robots.txt_prevents_subscription_in_Google_Reader
Quite why Google Calendar is misusing robots.txt like this, I don't know... (it's natural to use robots.txt to keep pages from appearing in the google search index, but that shouldn't then also apply in this sort of situation.) I'll see if I can figure out a work-around for subscribing to the calendar, but it'll take me a day or so. In the meantime, you can always download the calendar file and import it into Google Calendar...
