emacsclient -e '(org-agenda)' sometimes displays stale agenda

[Andrew J. Korty]

Calling org-agenda from emacsclient doesn't always seem to generate a  
fresh agenda the way it does when called from a key binding or M-x.   
Anyone know why?

I think the agenda is rebuild, if you quit it and restart it again. In
many cases, this makes absolutely sense. I have quite a few agenda files
in use and some of them grow since 2 years now.


The function `org-agenda-redo'  rebuilds the agenda.

Say I use M-x org-agenda and press M to do a tag TODO query.  I get  
the results in the *Org Agenda* buffer.  Then I do M-x org-agenda RET  
M again with a different tag.  The contents of the *Org Agenda* buffer  
are replaced with the results of the new query.

But if I do all that by calling org-agenda from emacsclient, the  
contents of the *Org Agenda* buffer don't get replaced when I do the  
second query.  They still contain the results of the first query.
