[Orgmode] Agenda ID Duplicates and MobileOrg

[David A. Gershman]

I'm trying to get MobileOrg working with my files and the agenda view
seems 'flaky'.  I'm not sure if the problem lies with Org or MobileOrg.

Here is what the Agenda view in Emacs has:

Monday     15 February 2010 W07
  static_dates: 6:00- 7:00 MR - Gather hardware
  static_dates: 6:00- 7:00 MR - Breakfast
  static_dates: 6:00- 7:00 MR - Take medications
  static_dates: 6:00- 7:00 MR - Gather lunch
  static_dates:19:00-19:30 Trash
  static_dates:21:00-23:00 ER - Pick up toys from living room
  static_dates:21:00-23:00 ER - Pick up kid's room
  static_dates:21:00-23:00 ER - Check kitty condo
  static_dates:21:00-23:00 ER - Set out clothes
  static_dates:21:00-23:00 ER - Gather work stuff

When I look at the actual entries, I see some of the 'ER' items have the
same IDs (same problem with 'MR' items):

...
** ER - Pick up toys from living room
   :PROPERTIES:
   :ID:       cp2gnpd1pwe0
   :END:
   <2010-01-28 Thu 21:00-23:00 +1d>
** ER - Pick up kid's room
   :PROPERTIES:
   :ID:       cp2gnpd1pwe0
   :END:
   <2010-01-28 Thu 21:00-23:00 +1d>
** ER - Check kitty condo
   :PROPERTIES:
   :ID:       cp2gnpd1pwe0
   :END:
   <2010-01-28 Thu 21:00-23:00 +1d>
** ER - Set out clothes
   :PROPERTIES:
   :ID:       0aegnpd1pwe0
   :END:
   <2010-01-28 Thu 21:00-23:00 +1d>
** ER - Gather work stuff
   :PROPERTIES:
   :ID:       0aegnpd1pwe0
   :END:
   <2010-01-28 Thu 21:00-23:00 +1d>
...

Everything is in the same date and time, but IDs are duplicated and then
change.  I *think* this is messing up MobileOrg.  Additionally, when I
view the agenda in MobileOrg, the 'Trash' entry for example is not even
showing up.  Turns out it too has the same ID as "Gather Work Stuff"
(0aegnpd1pwe0).  Finally, not even all of the items are showing in the
MobileOrg agenda view that show in Emacs Org Agenda view.

This is reminding me of coding in ADA where a missed semicolon at the
top of the program resulted in hundreds of errors.  Fix the semicolon
and all is right with the universe.  Anyone have ideas as to where the
first error (org mode, mobile org, or me) exists?
