Remember mode (frist time) reports wrong type argument: stringp, nil

The first time I use Remember, after I file the note with C-c C-c
I get a message: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil
When I repeat C-c C-c  the note is filed successfully.

When I run Remember again, there is no problem.

My org version: 6.15d
My emacs version: 22.1.1   (GNU on Windows XP)

Re: Remember mode (frist time) reports wrong type argument:stringp, nil

Hi Charles,

this is a strange bug which should not happen.

Basically what seems to happen is this:

I do

   (find-file-no-select file)

followed by

   (with-current-buffer (get-file-buffer file))

For some strange reason, get-file-buffer cannot find the buffer
even though it has just been created.  Is there something strange
with the file name, is is accessed through a shortcut/link?

Can you please try this:

In the file where you want to store the item, insert "(buffer-file- 
name)",
press `C-c C-e' with the cursor after that line and memorize the result.

Then compare with the result of evaluating

(expand-file-name "...")

where you insert the file name exactly as given in the remember template
you are using to produce this bug.
