Mike McCants, the author of the QuickSat module used for LEO sats in CdC, has a separate program for geosats called HighFly. Since these satellites are perturbed significantly by the Sun and Moon they don't follow the same "rules" as LEO sats.
Mike's program may be found on his home page at http://users2.ev1.net/~mmccants/programs/highfl23.zip Perhaps Patrick can find a way to integrate this into CdC as he has done so well with QuickSat...
