Thanks for the explanation. My limited debugging showed the data may not 
even be passed from org to icalendar.el ("scheduled: nil" in the entry). 
But from what you said it won't work anyway regardless.

This is a bit of bummer. As a work around, do you know if there is a way 
to generate a series of dates / org entries from a diary-sexps? Thanks.
