I think the most common problem in these cases is incorrect setting for how 
many branches that must be closed before the fork is closed.
Since you write that both tasks have complete I think that is not the problem 
in your case. However, you write that both tasks have the "Processing 
obsolete" activated. What happens when the deadline is reached? Is the task 
status set to "Completed" or is it marked as obsolete. If both tasks are 
obsolete none of them are completed, are they? Thus, even if only one branch 
is required to close the fork that requirement will not be met.
You need to model your flow differently. Just how depends on your solution 
requirements.

Disclaimer 2: I will not feel bound by a disclaimer at the bottom of an e-mail 
telling me that I should not read the above. Where I live, we start reading at 
the top of the page.

Disclaimer 3: If you send me an e-mail in error I am not to blame for it and I 
am definitely not going to spend my money on an international telephone call 
to tell you that you sent the e-mail to the wrong address. Nor is it likely 
that I can be bothered to take the time to reply and tell you that you sent it 
to the wrong address.
