Re: [Orgmode] Agenda error

[Rick Moynihan]

Hi Carsten,

As seems to be increasingly the case it took me a while to look into
this, but when I did, with your insights it turned out to be only a
few minutes work.

It turns out that I had a ~/diary/ directory not a ~/diary file.  It
was hence fixed with a simple:

~ rmdir ~/diary/
~ touch ~/diary

Thanks again,

R.
