Hi Chris,

You say "showed up using C-a a"

Yes, but what about the Timeline?

  C-a L

The problem with the C-a a view is that you have to walk through the calendar week by week. The timeline would be better for scheduling events far out in the future -- if it worked.

Thanks again,
Mark

I've pasted your sample Org-mode data into my Org-mode file
after first deleting everything I had in there; i.e. nothing
but your data but with my .emacs file and settings.
TODO Pay Cell Phone Bill TriMonthly <2011-01-15 Sat
+90d>
showed up (using C-c a a)
2011-01-15, 2011-04-15, 2011-07-14, 2011-10-12, 2012-01-10,
etc.
The entry for 2011-04-15 appeared together with ranged
entry (5/12) of Spring Break.
TODO [#A] Bath for dog <2011-03-10 Thu +1w>
appeared every Thursday, including 2011-04-14.
Do this every 3 months <2011-03-28 Mon +90d>
appeared on
2011-03-28, 2011-06-26, 2011-09-24, 2011-12-23, 2012-03-22,
etc.
So, it all seems to work OK here.
Sorry I don't know what to suggest to try at your end other
than the usual things about reverting to minimal .emacs and
putting things back in one at a time. Also, making sure that
there isn't a clash between compiled units/modules and .el
files. That's something I can't comment on as I don't
compile my Org-mode, just run from the .el files.
