Hrm...tried that with the latest version from git, but it still doesn't
seem to work.  My templates look like this:

(setq org-remember-templates
    '(
	  ("Next Action" ?n "** TODO %^{Brief Description}\nAdded: %U\n%?\n" "~/pim/gtd/main_gtd.org"  "Misc")
	  ("Waiting" ?w "** TODO %^{Brief Description}\nAdded: %U\n%?\n" "~/pim/gtd/main_gtd.org" "Waiting")
	  ("Project" ?p "** TODO %^{Brief Description} :project:\n:PROPERTIES:\n:CATEGORY: %^{Category}\n:END:\nAdded: %U\n%?\n" 
           "~/pim/gtd/main_gtd.org" "Projects")
	  ("Someday" ?s "** %^{Brief Description}\nAdded: %U\n%?\n" "~/pim/gtd/someday.org" "Misc")

	  ;; calendar
	  ("Birthday" ?b "%\%(diary-remind '(diary-date  %^{Month} %^{Day}t) -%^{Remind days}) %^{Brief Description}%?" 
           "~/pim/gtd/dates.org" "Birthdays")
	  ("Appointment" ?a "* %^T %^{Brief Description}%?" "~/pim/gtd/dates.org" "Appointments")
     )
)

The Birthday one is giving me this when I hit C-c r b:

%%![Error: (void-function diary-remind)] %?

Any ideas?
