First of all, have you verified that the request uri that you are using corresponds to the DAV:principal-collection-set property ? See https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3744#section-5.8

Then, the principals namespace is typically not queried through PROPFIND but rather through a DAV:principal-property-search REPORT query. See https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3744#section-9.4

Now, if you want to retrieve all the users on the calendar server, I'm not sure that the server will actually let you do that, especially if you have a large number of users.
