OK -- we are talking about WikiCalendar, not PmCal :)

What you need to do is:

1. set up pages called

[[Curriculum.HomePage | Curriculum Calendar]]

[[Curriculum.GroupHeader]] containing (:wikilog:)

This will create date pages called Curriculum.20050909 (for example)

These pages form the "Curriculum" group.

2. set up another group of pages called

[[Test.HomePage | Test Calendar]]

[[Test.GroupHeader]] containing (:wikilog:)

This will create date pages called Test.20050909

These pages form the "Test" group.

And that should be it.

In PmWiki, a group comes into existence by adding a page to it.
Strictly, a group is similar to a namespace -- a way to qualify
a name so that it is distinguished from another.

All the pages starting with 'Test.' are in the Test group; all
the pages starting with "Curriculum." are in the Curriculum group.

PmWIki doesn't support pages of the form Text1.Text2.Text3 -- however,
it would be possible to extend the WikiCalendar so that pages of the
form Group.Prefix,yyyymmdd were recognised. This is a form of 
"subpage markup" and to date there has never been a good enough
reason to add this extra level of complexity. It could be done,
but try it with each calendar in a separate group first.
