Loan Payments and Advance SX entry

I've been entering my loan transactions "by hand" for the most part.  
That is, I have them set up as scheduled transactions with fixed splits 
then correct the splits after I get my statements.  However, I decided 
to take the plunge and set up my mortgage via the loan druid.

After a few false starts, I got it to work so it calculated my next 
entry correctly.  Then, because I prefer to have my known transactions 
entered well in advance so I can do an eyeball budget, I changed the SX 
to automatically create it 60 days in advance.  Then I had GC run all SX 
since the last run. 

What I discovered is that my next payment for 2009-09-01 was correct, 
but the one for 2009-10-01 is a duplicate of the 2009-09-01 entry.  It 
looks to me like the loan calculator may be using the run date instead 
of the effective entry date.  Or maybe I've just set it up wrong and 
only thought I had it correct.

Should it be possible to have scheduled loan payments automatically 
entered more than one payment cycle in advance?
