I am not a programmer, coder, whatever, but you have 
org-deadline-warning-days set to two different values. Is this the problem?

current state:
==============

snip

(org-deadline-warning-days 1)))
                (agenda ""
                 ((org-agenda-time-grid nil)
(org-deadline-warning-days 365) (org-agenda-entry-types (quote
(:deadline))) (org-agenda-skip-entry-if (quote scheduled))
