The settings in my .wxremindrc are:

### Edit settings
### editor:  the full path to the external editor
### editold: the command for editing an old reminder
### editnew: the command for editing an new reminder
### Both editold and editnew use the following SUBSTITUTIONS:
###     %(e)s -> editor
###     %(n)s -> the line number to edit
###     %(f)s -> the file name
editor = '''/usr/bin/gvim'''
editold = '''%(e)s -f +%(n)s %(f)s'''
editnew = '''%(e)s -f + %(f)s'''
# editor = '''/usr/bin/emacs'''
# editold = '''%(e)s +%(n)s %(f)s'''
# editnew = '''%(e)s +999999 %(f)s'''


See the triple quoutes. Have you tried that?
