I am using org-agenda-to-appt and I noticed a bug.
1. Add the following in the agenda file
* TODO test
SCHEDULED: <2012-01-14 Sat 12:00>
2. Call org-agenda-to-appt
3. Change the SCHEDULED time-stamp in the entry like this
* TODO test
SCHEDULED: <2012-01-14 Sat 12:00>
4. appt-time-msg-list has the old entry
((1380)
#("12:00 TODO test" 6 15
(org-heading t))
t)
((1390)
#("12:10 TODO test" 6 15
(org-heading t))
t)
I guess a workaround will be removing any entries which has
org-heading as property from appt-time-msg-list before adding the new
entries.
I think this guy had the same problem:

Hi Takafumi,
This is the setup I use to deal with this.
There is no magic that updates your appt-time-msg-list just because your
org file changed. I regenerate the appointment list everytime I visit
the agenda -- and I do that often.
HTH,
Bernt
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
; Erase all reminders and rebuilt reminders for today from the agenda
(defun bh/org-agenda-to-appt ()
(interactive)
(setq appt-time-msg-list nil)
(org-agenda-to-appt))
; Rebuild the reminders everytime the agenda is displayed
(add-hook 'org-finalize-agenda-hook 'bh/org-agenda-to-appt 'append)
; This is at the end of my .emacs - so appointments are set up when Emacs starts
(bh/org-agenda-to-appt)
; Activate appointments so we get notifications
(appt-activate t)
; If we leave Emacs running overnight - reset the appointments one minute after midnight
(run-at-time "24:01" nil 'bh/org-agenda-to-appt)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Hi Bernt,
Thanks for your setup recipe. However, I noticed I failed to explain
what I meant; the old entry remains in appt-time-msg-list even if you
call org-agenda-to-appt.
So, the procedure to reproduce my problem is the following:
1. Add the following in the agenda file
* TODO test
SCHEDULED: <2012-01-14 Sat 12:00>
2. Call org-agenda-to-appt
3. Change the SCHEDULED time-stamp in the entry like this
* TODO test
SCHEDULED: <2012-01-14 Sat 12:00>
4. Call org-agenda-to-appt again # ADDED THIS
5. appt-time-msg-list has the old entry
((1380)
#("12:00 TODO test" 6 15
(org-heading t))
t)
((1390)
#("12:10 TODO test" 6 15
(org-heading t))
t)
I found how to fix this. You can tell org-agenda-to-appt forcefully
clear the old entries by passing non-nil to the first argument of
org-agenda-to-appt.
This is how I use it:
(defun my-org-agenda-to-appt-when-saved ()
(when (member buffer-file-name (mapcar 'expand-file-name org-agenda-files))
(org-agenda-to-appt t)))
(add-hook 'after-save-hook 'my-org-agenda-to-appt-when-saved)
Note that this will clear all entries stored in appt, including the
ones unrelated to org-mode. But if you are using appt only from
org-mode, there is no problem.

My recipe clears the list each time the agenda is generated. I only use
appt for org-mode appointments so clearing the list works great for me.

Sorry I missed (setq appt-time-msg-list nil) in your setup code. This
is exactly what happens when you pass non-nil for REFRESH argument of
org-agenda-to-appt.
