Thanks, Luke but I don't think that works.  I want a command that will move the event forward a day but still keep the repeat at a set interval from the original day.  It's still something I find I need to do frequently but have no way to do other than manually. =(

i've been using the org-agenda-date-later function to schedule things later.
I think it's what you're looking for. It's not bound to anything, but I bind
it to ")" via

(org-defkey org-agenda-mode-map ")" 'org-agenda-date-later)
