Apparently there are more problems with the Merlin engine.

An update...

That's right. The latest word from SpaceX is that the first
Falcon launch attempt from Kwajalein is planned for late
November to early December. The second launch, which
would carry the Space Services payload from Vandenberg,
won't happen until early 2006.

That's what the schedule is. The odds are that reality will
interfere with any schedule!
