I mentioned this in a previous email, but I'll elaborate a bit here.
Only one function from org-datetree is autoloaded:
org-datetree-find-date-create. None of the other functions is loaded
until this function is called *or* until you evaluate (require
'org-datetree). 

To solve the problem, you could either rewrite the defadvice to use
org-datetree-find-date-create or add (require 'org-datetree) to your
emacs.

To change the advice, simply replace the following lines

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
          (org-datetree-find-year-create y)
          (org-datetree-find-month-create y m)
          (org-datetree-find-day-create y m d)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

with 

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
          (org-datetree-find-date-create `(,m ,d ,y))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Look at the context in which the uppercase occurs (e.g., a docstring).

Best,
Matt
