I cannot help you with this problem but wanted to suggest that you 
revert to an earlier version of svn rather than go back to the release 
version. I find that the 14374 commit is a good stable point from just 
before the merge of the multi-rec branch. It has all the fixes related 
to Schedules Direct and seems to work well for me.
