Umm... I does not sound wrong. Just that the situation and our handling
of it is messy.

These errors were the result of me writing the instruction from memory
and not fully testing. I updated the manual page now.

collection-root directory does not exist until radicale2 is installed
and started. I updated the manual for this too.

I believe I tested this case were I added contacts to radicale 1.x,
performed the upgrade to 2.x and the calendars did show up (at least in
the case where I re-added the account using DAVx5).

Not sure what happened in your case.

Thanks for investigation and fixes.
