If you run `M-x diary' (or `d' i the *Calendar* buffer), the appointment list

should be updated.  If you can confirm that, then maybe you could add something
like this to the bottom of your ~/diary file:


### Local Variables:
### eval: (add-hook 'local-write-file-hooks (lambda () (diary) nil))
### End:
