That works for you? Not for me:
$ remind foo.rem 23 march 2009
foo.rem(1): trigger(): Type mismatch
No reminders.
trigdate() is not valid until the final trigger date has been calculated.
So it's a chicken-and-egg situation.
(Hint: Yours *happened* to work because trigdate() was left over from
the previous reminder. Yes, functions like trigdate() that rely on
side-effects from global variables internal to Remind are evil.
Remind itself is pretty evil...)

Actually:
FSET _repeat(date,period,count) "*"+period+" "+trigger(date)+" UNTIL
"+trigger(date+(count-1)*period)
#...
REM [_repeat('2009-03-23', 7, 4)] MSG use a function
is safer.
