Summary:
Calendar fails to update meetings from an ics file when the UID contained in the ICS file is incorrect.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set up a recurring meeting on Microsoft Exchange server
2. Invite a Mac user to the meeting by email address
3. Change one meeting occurrence to a different time
4. The invitee receives an email containing "Mail Attachment.ics"
5. Double-click on the ICS file and see it appear in the Calendar Inbox

Expected Results:
Accepting the change via the popup from Calendar Inbox should move the meeting

Actual Results:
- First time clicking the accept button does nothing, only the entry disappears from the Calendar Inbox
- Subsequent times there is only an OK button, again yielding no result upon clicking
- No feedback of any sort informs the user about the problem

The following is logged on the console:

Version:
10.10 (14A361c)

Notes:
I narrowed the problem do a non-matching UID value in the ICS file. 

Workaround:

1. mail the recurring event from Calendar
2. this gives you an ICS file which upon inspection shows the correct UID value of the calendar event
3. Modify the "Mail Attachment.ics" file, correcting the UID value

With the updated UID the expected results occur, the single meeting occurrence is moved.

I have no idea why the UID is incorrect. If this is an issue in Microsoft Exchange Server, then still I expect Calendar to be resilient enough to find the correct meeting if no matching UID exists.
