Thank you.  

Hmm...those appointments really ought ot have been deleted before we
get to that line.

q.v. planner-appt-remember-appt, and passim!

What version of Emacs are you using? 

If you are using the CVS development version, I suspect that the real
problem is probably in planner-appt-remember-appt: the format has
changed slightly, so they might not get deleted with
planner-appt-clear-appts. The change was made 2005-02-23; I wonder
what the best way of testing for this would be?
