Yes, repeated events are not supported in the code. Probably trivial to add but I'm swamped with a new academic term which started last week so it'll be a while before I get to this. I'll add it to my (ever growing) TODO list in any case.

I'll add this to my TODO list as well! Thanks for the feedback! eric -- : Eric S Fraga (GnuPG: 0xC89193D8FFFCF67D) in Emacs 24.0.90.1 : using Org-mode version 7.7 (release_7.7.368.g85d0)
