You must have something in your initialization file that pulls in the
old org-icalendar file, either an explicit require or something that
autoloads it.

Try loading a minimal init file (e.g. check

   http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/80179/focus=80213

for an example) and start emacs with

   emacs -q -l /path/to/minimal/.emacs

If org-export-icalendar-this-file is undefined (as it should be), then
the problem is somewhere in your .emacs file. So start eliminating stuff
from it, until you find out what causes the problem.
