I'm a bit surprised I did not find a solution or answer to this question because there appears to be a lot devs out there experiencing it.
I'm generating an ics file with the help of DDay.ical but the VALARMS are not setting reminders in google calendar or outlook 2007.
Here a snippet from the ics file
Thank you very much in advance for your assistance sniffing out an explanation or fix.

Google Calendar ICS Export Simplified With an ICS file, you can transfer your calendar events safely and easily to other calendar apps and accounts.
ics file, you get a snapshot of the events in the calendar at the time of import. Your calendar doesn't refresh the imported events automatically -- even if the calendar's owner makes an update.
On the left, click Calendar > Shared calendars. On the right pane, under Publish a calendar, pick the calendar you wish to publish and choose the level of access: View when I am busy, View titles and locations, or View all details. Click the Publish button. In a moment, the ICS link will appear in the same window.
I had this same problem in Outlook 2010. For some reason if you open the .ics file directly (and create a new calendar), it will strip all reminders. However, if you to the 'file -> import' ('file -> open -> import' in 2010) method, select the .ics file, and 'import' into your existing calendar, it will retain the reminders. I think this is totally messed up on Microsoft's part, but hopefully this works for you. I can't answer about the google calendar, but perhaps it's similar?
here's a link to how to import the calendar in outlook to get it to integrate into your current calendar: http://help.unc.edu/CCM3_022163
