wyrdrc string syntax follows that of OCaml, which means a string must be
enclosed in double-quotes and embedded double-quote characters must be
backslash-escaped.  So try this:

set template0="REM %mday% %monname% %year% +5 MSG %\"XXX\%" %b%"
set template1="REM %mday% %monname% %year% +5 AT %hour%:%min% DURATION 1:00 MSG %\"XXX%\" %b%"

I'm not in a position to test this right now, but I believe it's
correct.
