The problem is the repeating task doesn't ever come along until you complete the current one. It's the act of completing the task that triggers the creation of the next instance.

I use a script called Defer by Dan Byler for this purpose. You select any number of tasks, invoke the script, and it prompts you for the number of days to defer the tasks. You can download it from Dan's website at http://bylr.net/files/omnifocus/
