That's because *10 causes Remind to loop, setting it's notion of "today"
to Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, ...

And because it's after 10:00, each time through Remind thinks the 10:00
reminder is in the past and does not triger it.

You have to supply a time on the command line to fake it.  Try:

remind -q -h -a -a test.rem '*10' 9:00

The remind successively thinks it's Friday at 9:00, Saturday at 9:00, ...
