Hi,
Suddenly, maybe after an update to Org 9.1.13, I get the error
Non-existent agenda file refile.org. [R]emove from list or [A]bort?
when generating the agenda. However, the file exists (and has done for
years). If I press 'R', the agenda is built, but the offending file is
not removed and entries from the file are included in the agenda.
The entry is the 3rd of 3 files. I added a 4th to check whether it is
an off-by-one error, but still only the 3rd entries is considered
non-existent.
If I add a file to 'org-agenda-files' which really is missing, I get the
error, but when I press 'R' the entry really is removed from the list.
Even if I remove 'refile.org' from the list, I still get the error that
'refile.org' is missing.
Any ideas what I could try next?
Baffled,
Loris

Sometimes I see this when a buffer is open to a file that has never been
saved. This can happen when I start a new org file and try to do some
agenda thing before I save it, or when some function/process opens an
org-file in a new directory for example, and an agenda thing happens before
it has been saved.
You could check to see if there is a refile.org buffer open (not
necessarily to the existing file, just one named refile.org) but that has
not been saved. I don't know why such a buffer would be open, but if it is,
it might be a cause of that problem.

Hi John,
The problem didn't occur this morning when I constructed the agenda, so
I suspect you may be right about it having to do with some transitory
state. However, I couldn't provoke the error by creating unsaved buffer
with the appropriate name, but I shall look more carefully at what
buffers are open next time the problem crops up.
Thanks
Loris
