org-mode recurring dates

org-mode recurring dates

[what.a.guy]

Using emacs 22.2.1 + org-mode 6.06b, I've set up 'birthdays.org' as one of my
org-agenda-files:

* Name 1
  <2008-02-14 Sat +1y>
* Name 2
  <2008-05-16 Sat +1y>
 ...

The weekly org agenda view will show the original (2008) dates correctly,
but when I hit <right-arrow> repeatedly to see 2009, the dates don't show in
the agenda.  Am I doing something wrong here?

Hi,
You can use diary in your org files like that:

,----
| %%(diary-anniversary  05 25 1963) Thierry is %d years old
`----

Does that address what is wrong though?

I have:
