Using RepositoryQueryWizard which provides a default implementation of 
performQuery() that adds the query to the task list is the recommended way to 
implement this in 3.0.

Does your query page extend AbstractRepositoryQueryPage and implement 
applyTo()?

The handle is an automatically generated unique identifier for each element in 
the task list that has been automatically generated. The exception indicates 
that you are trying to synchronize a query that was not previously added to 
the task list and hence can not be found.
