an example right out of my .diary file:

17 Nov 2006 16:00 - 18:00 Teambuilding Marketingmeeting

there is nothing else in the line just this and it works in the org-agenda.

As i said in gnu.emacs.help, the output is not quite as i expected.
Can you give me an example of your agenda display for such a diary
entry?

(BTW, i think it's a appt and/or diary issue, not an org-mode one.)

All the best,

Were you expecting it to cover several physical lines in the time grid?  

I expected that as well, but it just shows up on one line...

That's what I get.  I think the OP was hoping to see

rather than

Yes, but i finally think one line is acceptable enough.  So
18:00-20:00 is correctly displayed in the agenda buffer for me.

Multiline display in the time grid becomes annoyingly hard when you 
have overlapping appointments.

Still a bi*#& to code I guess, but would this be a good solution?

14:30 |------------------------

Clearly, your groups meetings do have the same structure as ours :-)

Yes, hard to program for several reasons...
