Alarms not working for iCal calendar synced with Google account

ical

I have, in iCal two accounts: one local, one synced with my Google account. In the last 3 weeks or so, the alarms on the synced account have stopped working — that is, I'll create an event, set the alarm, and click "done," and when I click on the event immediately after, my alarm settings have disappeared. This also happens when I add an alarm to existing event on this account. The alarms on my local account appear to be working fine.

I am running 10.6.8 on a 15" MacBook Pro.

Has anyone else had any problems like this? Any ideas as to how I could about fixing it?

On snow leopard I find that iCal drops alarms of type "message with sound", which I assume is because google calendar doesn't support them. It works ok for me with alarms of type "message". Could that be your problem?
