Simplifying the test:

Putting a normal reminder before the run works:

REM MSG test appointment
REM AT 17:00 RUN $NOTIFY 'test notify' %

tamara at caesar:~/remindtest$ remind -df -q test.rem
Reading `test.rem': Opening file on disk
Reminders for Tuesday, 23rd October, 2012 (today):

test appointment


Swapping the lines yields no banner:

REM AT 17:00 RUN $NOTIFY 'test notify' %
REM MSG test appointment

tamara at caesar:~/remindtest$ remind -df -q test.rem
Reading `test.rem': Opening file on disk
test appointment
