Larry,

This is a known issue. Basically, if you move a task to a different list
and then change its name, I will not pick up the change.

The problem is that RTM identifies tasks by list / task id pair, there
is no "global" identifier for a task. Thus, Astrid has to guess when a
task moves to a different list based on the name of the task, since the
id's change. Hope that helps, sorry for the inconvenience!
