Well, I would simply not add the end information as org does not
understand an end date for a repeating item.  In other words, for a
repeating item I would simply have the start date including the repeat
directive.

I should say that the awk codes have diverged.  My own version now
differs significantly from what is on Worg, which is where I assume you
got your copy.  I implemented repeating entries differently, it would
seem.
