Can't schedule transaction

Fri May 29 12:16:41 EDT 2015

Open my guncach, my test schedule transaction works! Thanks to Colin, David and Volker.  I still don’t know what I did differently with this test transaction, But I will delete all my previous schedule transaction (which did not work), and recreate the list.
