What is wrong (if you can call it that) is that the actual argument list to the org-diary-class function depends on the settings of a couple of variables: calendar-date-style and/or european-calendar-style. As I have the former set to 'iso, in my case I need to specify dates in the Y M D order: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- * TODO Class 10:00am-12:00am <%%(org-diary-class 2010 10 18 2011 2 12 3)> --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- You may need to do the same. I've cc-ed the org-mode list for others to be aware of this as well.
