Trying to export iCal to google calendar

Hi
I'm trying to export my current iCal to google calendar. I have gone to iCal on my Mac mini and exported the ics file to desktop. Problem is. When I import it to google calendar it says zero events imported. In iCal I can see lots of items (almost every day). What am I doing wrong?

I have gone to http://www.google.com/calendar

On the left column of page there is a drop down for other calendars. Click that then import calendar.

Mine says zero events imported but I have tonnes.

Its doing my head in. I've been on I phones since the first and been a mobileme user since it launched. Decided to switch to a nexus4 recently and actually enjoying the change (I'm no apple fanboy nor am I a fandroid) but this is the last bit that's causing a headache. My wife uses iCal all the time to remember kids sports clubs etc and she is getting her nexus on Monday (she was impressed too) and she will be annoyed if she has to re enter all of those.

Sorry to be a pain but can you explain each step? When I go to export it only gives me option of exporting calendar. No sections or choices

EDIT: never mind. I figured it out. HOWEVER under calendars I see 1 under "on my mac" called "calendar" and 2 under my email address "calendar" and "home"

Should I export all 3 or is the on my mac calendar a duplicate if my iCloud 2 (don't want everything duplicated!)
