Solved: It seems obsessively restarting the client does the trick :-)

I'll have to keep that one in mind.

Can I tell it to try again sooner than in a couple of days?

No, not yet.  All this stuff is in the 'to do' list, but right now the client is fairly simple, and the encryption of the wallet.dat file by default really needs to come first.  The only thing that you can do is leave the client running.

Hello there,

odd phenomenon here:

I send some bitcoins to an address and the client answered with the transaction id b41b5b861adaa9305cebd0ade03a46bfa3e1ee2674c1d8a8c10c8b87f7994852

it is shown with 0 confirmations when using listtransactions but it doesn't show up in bitcoincharts.com/bitcoin or the block explorer. It seems that it never made it to another node. The problem: the bitcoins are blocked from use.

I did another transaction after that and that went through fine.

using 0.3.22 beta

any ideas on how to get the coins back or the transaction to go through?

Your client should attempt to resend the transaction every couple days until it sees it.  If your receiving party sees the coins, it's not really an issue.  There is no way (at present) to tell the client to cancel a transaction that never made it to the network.
