It's far too complex.  You are abusing Remind; you need to follow
the Remind Zen.  Also, the SKIP keyword does not work without an OMIT, so
using it in your example is pointless.  I would do it this way:

# The following needs Remind >= 3.1.8
REM 2010-06-30 *1 UNTIL 2010-07-05 MSG Vacation
REM 2010-07-11 *1 UNTIL 2010-07-26 MSG Vacation
REM 2010-08-30 *1 UNTIL 2010-09-09 MSG Vacation
REM 2010-10-01 *1 UNTIL 2010-10-09 MSG Vacation

FSET vacation_2010(x) (evaltrig("2010-06-30 *1 UNTIL 2010-07-05") == x) || \
                      (evaltrig("2010-07-11 *1 UNTIL 2010-07-26") == x) || \
                      (evaltrig("2010-08-30 *1 UNTIL 2010-09-09") == x) || \
                      (evaltrig("2010-10-01 *1 UNTIL 2010-10-09") == x)

REM Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri SKIP \
    OMITFUNC vacation_2010 \
    AT 7:45 DURATION 8:00 MSG Work
