Environment details? (see Admin panel -> Dashboard -> Information)
I've neve used tasks so I will not be able to assist you with this (especially since I dont know how it is supposed to work, vs what you are seeing.) Hopefully once you post some more information about your setup / environment / etc someone else will be able to assist you.
