I have the same problem as this thread and would like to fix since its happening to me also
http://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/rss-feed-for-auto-blog
this is the feed I'm trying
http://www.examiner.com/user/1565231/1872696/feed
If I put the dates at the bottom and manually update it will not work.
If I take out the dates and manually update works fine.
this is on a fresh test blog install
I also put in the word the in Any of these words filter
(a button to get all posts would be a nice feature)
here is what my form looks like

Hiya!
Is it just this feed you're having problems with or do others work?
Note that once you process a feed once, it won't process the same items again - even if you delete the imported posts.

others also
tried this one also just now

I have to turn off the feed and empty the start date for it to work manually

Ah - sorry I was thinking end date.
If you have set a start date then yes, autoblog will honour that even if you try to manually process it. That's how it's supposed to be.

but the start date was yesterday.
So if there is a start date you can not manually update? :<

Okay, I've just done a bit more testing copying your set up and have the same issue which suggests there's some kind of bug.
I'll pass this along to the developer to troubleshoot further.
Thanks,
Phil

Great Thank you
Not great about bug but great that they will get the report :>

Just a quick note:
If you don't put anything in the filter then it will get all posts - that's the default status, so you don't need to put "the" in there.
