For whatever reason, C-u C-c C-e trick doesn't work for me.  I see that 
that there is an optional FORCE argument...  Maybe some other condition 
isn't being met.

The documentation also says:
Inserts only diaries if the corresponding `planner-diary-use-*' 
variable is t.
and I am not quite sure what this means.

However, I found that if I run:

   planner-diary-insert-diary

it updates, so I just bound that to a key and am running with it.

My impression is that most people are using the rewrite method as 
opposed to the <lisp></lisp> method so I will stick with rewrite for 
now.
