Yes, he was. I think I may have identified the bug. The symptom is
that when the directory ~/.org-timestamps does not exist, org-publish
does nothing. I think what it should do is create ~/.org-timestamps,
and go ahead with the requested publishing. org-publish.el contains
the function org-publish-needed-p which is supposed to return 't' if
the file should be published. Here's my suggested change which seems
to result in the behaviour I was expecting. But I haven't looked at
the code extensively, maybe there's some more appropriate place to
make the missing timestamp directory. Also, I barely know what I'm
doing in elisp. The original defun is below.

Thanks Manish and Sebastian.
