Does the scheduled transactions feature work?

If it does I cannot get it to.  I set up one, a fixed monthly payment
payable on the first of each month.  I opened the scheduled transactions
window and selected the options as best I could.  That task was not
helped by the paucity of information in the scheduled transaction
section of the Tutorial and Concepts Guide.  Among other things the
screen shots there where quite different from what the screen actually
showed.

Anyhow, in the transaction editor I did as follows.  In the Overview
options I selected Enabled and Create automatically.  In Overview
occurrences I tried to enter the last date I wanted for this
transaction, but I was not allowed to enter any other date but today's.
 So instead, I set the occurrences to 13.

In the frequency window I selected monthly, to begin on 2009-01-01,
every 1 month, on the 1st.  In the template transaction I entered the
accounting details.  Finally I selected the big + and then Enter.

I consequently expected the transactions for each month from 2009-01-01
to 2009-04-01 to be entered, but they were not.  Is there something
wrong with this feature or with me?
