For a list to be selectable in the dropdown under "Events List" for "Events list on this site", it needs to be of the template "Events" (TemplateID 106). You will need to delete your calendar app and recreate it as an events list.

<FieldRef Name="fRecurrence"/>
<Value Type="Boolean">0</Value>
</Eq>
