I believe the README file that comes with the Mac Outlook client states
that the .PST files can't be read by the Mac client. One workaround
might be to use the PC client to file the mail on the Exchange server;
then the Mac client can also access this mail.
I assume you're also aware that the Mac client uses a different calendar
format than the default choice for the PC client.
