I agree with Pottster. For example, if your parsed task has a Start Date of next Friday, and today is Wednesday, and you have the Action Filter set to "Active", you will see the task in Outline, but not in a ToDo view as the task, by definition, is not active. And there are many other examples of why a task would not show up in a ToDo view. When Pottster states, "look at ALL the elements in the Filter panel", I believe he means to make sure that the Action Filter is set to "All", and not to "Active". It wouldn't hurt to select all Contexts, and check the "Include closed" checkbox for contexts as well.
