Thanks for your patch. I just pushed a patch along the lines of yours
which uses the built-in facilities of orgmode. It handles all effort
durations that are defined in `org-duration-string-to-minutes'. This
brings it in line with the rest of orgmode's effort handling. It also
fixes the documentation in org.texi.

Can you check and see if this fixes all your issues?

Thanks
Christian
