Wait, it's becoming really strange:
* I copied-pasted my 2 lines from my original reminder file (let's call it wrong_file) to another new one (let's call it correct_file).
* And now the reminder is correctly triggered from correct_file (still not from wrong_file). "Activate:" reporting after `kill` command is OK.

`diff` doesn't detect any difference from both files (2 lines of wrong_file vs. correct_file).
`cat -A` don't show anything suspicious
Only `file` spots a difference: wrong_file is "UTF-8 Unicode text" whereas correct_file is "ASCII text" (but my other "UTF-8 Unicode text" reminder files, without SCHED option though, seem to work correctly so I'm not sure it's relevant).
NB: wrong_file has been created by wyrd initially but this specific REM_WITH_SCHED was mine by hand.

If you have any idea, please share :)
