Having difficulting connecting Thunderbird Calendar to our server for the use of a shared calendar.
We are using Radicale (CalDAV) server.
Both clients & server run on Linux - OpenSUSE Leap 42.2
Thunderbird (through Radicale server) tries to create a calendar in a directory that doesn't exist.
It's a directory that can't exist; the path name listed is a sub-directory of a file.

Are you telling Thunderbird Calendar the correct network location for the CalDAV calendar? If you enter the proper network location, Thunderbird will only look there.
In the Calendar tab in Thunderbird, Menu: File: New: Calendar
Select "On the Network", Next. Select CalDAV for the format, then enter the correct network location. Continue.
Good Morning Bruce, Thank you for your help here. I confirmed that we entered the correct network location. Thunderbird did 'look' there. In fact it connected to the server. Thunderbird (or Radicale) appears to create the new calendar but when subsequently accessing that calendar, you can't. Because the pathname is wrong; the pathname doesn't exist.
I don't have any experience with Thunderbird actually creating a CalDAV calendar. I don't even know if that works or not. I've only pointed Thunderbird to an already existing CalDAV calendar.
So use your Radicale server to create the CalDAV calendar first, then have Thunderbird reference that location.
