A headache...

Reading The Beauty of the Recurring Task, I am trying to give this a go on my own. Here is the problem:

I am supposed to be able to do this:
In addition to the common “Every Monday” and “Every Other Month” items, Entourage lets you set a manual interval for repetition that’s based on the last time the task was completed.

Alright, so I begin by making a task... Today is the 30th, I make it due on the first of this month (So a few weeks ago). Dialog box looks like this:


I set the recurrence dialog so it looks like this:

Meaning that the day I check it off, a new task should spawn 30 days after the day I check it off

Hit save, this dialog pops up. We are back to the main entourage window now... It looks like this:

So when I tick the box today (the 30th) a new task should spawn 30 days from today. Rather, a new task spawns 30 days from when the initial due date was (not good)

Tick the box, it now looks like this:

Meaning it spawned a new task due 30 days after May 1st! It should be due 30 days from today, not the initial due date!

How can I fix this?

Please help,
