I can't say with 100% certainty, but I was under the impression that the initial St. Patricks Island group did apply for all the proper permits & worked with the city from the get go (before the Oct 15th march even). Where as the group at the plaza never obtained any permits/permission of any kind.
Going back it sounds like the fracture/split happened before the October 15th march even took place. When the folks at the plaza were asked "why two camps? Why are you not with the group on St. Patrick's Island?" the response was typically "that group acted on their own, there wasn't a consensus reached when they started using the Occupy Calgary name and started making deals with the city"
