The problem is with the use of a sticky write lock:
}              mnesia:transaction(fun()->
}                      mnesia:s_write(#oid{name = task, id = 0})
}                  end),

If you change this to not use a sticky write lock it works as you
expect:

   mnesia:transaction(fun()-> mnesia:write(#oid{name = task, id = 0}) end),

I can't help but offer the advice given in Erlang Programming
Rules section 3.8:  Don't optimize code.
