Adobe fiend for failing to Flash

if S-<ret> means hold the shift key down then hit return, in emacs 
org-mode 7.9.2 this key combination did not increment the date stamp.  
When I keyed in the date stamp, I did it by hand keying in all of the 
required characters myself since a couple of the dates are already in the 
past.  Could that have prevented proper date incrementing?  Could I get 
around this block by entering the first date stamp as <today -2d> and then 
trying shift-return from there on out to get the other needed dates in the 
log?
