Ouch,

I *did* find a big bug there, so I hope this problem will disappear now,
one you have upgraded to the latest git version...

Hi --

I have more information on this error. I think I've traced it down to whether the command is actually killing the current element in the first place.
I had a clipboard management function working in Quicksilver and got  
rid of that in order to test this better. I got an error on  
refiling, but it was a different error this time. One about the  
element being empty, IIRC.
Am I misunderstanding refile? Do I have to do more than have the  
cursor on the line to be moved?
And is there a way I can further backtrace this so that it might be  
useful for troubleshooting by others? Or screencast the error so you  
can see I am not making this up? I am  enamored of orgmode now, but  
I'm on the verge of abandoning it because I have a notes file from  
which I cannot conveniently refile tasks and it's becoming  
unmanageable.

I am a noob - drawn to the alien world of Emacs (from my familiar Mac environment) by OrgMode. I am uncertain enough that I don't rightly know if this is best described as an OrgMode error or an Emacs error. Most likely a human error, I guess.
I am using last night's Aquamacs build: GNU Emacs 23.0.94.1  
(i386-apple-darwin9.7.0, NS apple-appkit-949.46)
of 2009-06-23 on BRAEBURN.PSY.CMU.EDU - Aquamacs Distribution  
2.0dev. Org-mode 6.21b.
In OrgMode, I am trying to learn to refile tasks. I use C-c C-w  
on a TODO item in a notes file. It goes through the process of  
allowing me to select the destination for the item. But then it  
throws an error - "Kill is not a (set of) trees" etc - every  
time. Doesn't kill the TODO and obviously doesn't yank it to the  
new location.
Are you selecting a region before calling the command? That  
region might be not a valid tree.
I have done this with the point (that's the emacs word for cursor,  
right?) in a TODO item. I have done it with the entire item  
selected as a region.
I am happy to backtrace this or test in whatever way is needed. I  
knew I was getting into something complex here.
