I assume you've decided you can safely ignore the error message?

-stdin-(1): Unknown token: `Sat,Sun' (OMIT)

REM Mar 7 +1 OMIT SAT SUN MSG my reminder

However, it'll still be sent out on Saturday and Sunday as well.  So
you should also put this in your reminder file right at the beginning:

IFTRIG Sat Sun
    # Don't bother me on weekends
    EXIT
ENDIF
