More specifically,

I have a recurring REM when has a start day on a Thursday and is 
recurring using *7:

REM 20 Sept 2012 *7 AT 7:15 DURATION 2:15 MSG Appointment A

And Thanksgiving is defined as:
REM  Thu Nov [Week_4]	SCANFROM [_back(7)] SATISFY 1
OMIT [trigdate()] MSG %"Thanksgiving%" Day
REM  Fri Nov [Week_4+1]	SCANFROM [_back(7)] SATISFY 1
OMIT [trigdate()] MSG %"Thanksgiving%" (cont.)

Appointment A is on one file, the holidays are in another.

The remind command:

remind -c3 all.rem

shows an occurrence of Appointment A on Thanksgiving.

all.rem looks like this:
INCLUDE /remind_files/holidays.rem
INCLUDE /remind_files/reminders.rem
INCLUDE /remind_files/todo.rem

I'm not sure where to start, debugging this -- why is Appointment A not 
omitted on thanksgiving?
