Since you received the initial page, either the rule was hit and it just
didnt process the REPEAT,  or I suspect you have a rule above this one
that possibly process this alert prior to reaching this one which doesnt
have a repeat.  If you have a test hobbit server you could change your
time on the server and run some test alerts to see which rule is getting
hit.
