Office Service Pack 2 bug? No permission to copy from WSS calendar

Happy new year everyone!

After finding a few related Posts in this newsgroup already and helping them
with my little knowledge, I decided to make this an individual post.
The Problem is, since Office SP2 you cannot copy any events from the linked
calendar from SharePoint to your personal calendar in outlook, which worked
perfectly before. If you try to drag-n-drop the event you get the error
message: "Can't copy the items. You don't have appropriate permission to
perform this operation.".
I tried doubleclicking the event to open it in a seperate window, then
clicked on "copy into personal calendar", the same error message comes up,
then I clicked on "save and close" and violá, my event is in my personal
calendar.
So it can't really be a problem with permissions?!
This, or uninstalling Service Pack 2, are the only 2 possibilities I found
so far, and I was 3 days looking in the internet for a better solution.
Nothing.
I hope there are some MVPs or other people with higher qualification then
myself, to help, please.
Thanks in advance!

Best regards,

Paul.
 
Forgot to mention, after "save and close" there is another error message that
asks you (freely translated) "Windows SharePoint Services folders are write
protected. Do you want to save a copy of this element in the standard folder
for these types?". You click yes and THEN your event is copied to your
standard calendar.
Sorry for the late edit.

Paul
