** CANCELLED org-mode Fix scheduling of tasks with repeaters      :CANCELLED:
   CLOSED: [2010-03-09 Tue 17:43]
   :PROPERTIES:
   :Effort:   2:00
   :END:
   - State "CANCELLED"  from "TODO"       [2010-03-09 Tue 17:43] \\
     Done by Carsten
   [2009-04-09 Thu]
   Tasks with a deadline date and repeater don't allow easy creation of a 
SCHEDULED: entry.
   Error is "org-schedule: Cannot reschedule task with repeater, please do that 
by hand"
