Works for me (in CVS from Oct 1; waiting for current to build...). My
minimal example looks like:

~/diary:
Okt 23, 2005 23:20 do stuff

~/foo.el:
(setq calendar-month-name-array
      ["Januar" "Februar" "Merz" "April" "Mai" "Juni"
       "Juli" "August" "September" "Oktober" "November" "Dezember"])
(appt-activate 1)


emacs -q --no-site-file -l foo.el

and up pops the appointment reminder.

Do your diary entries show up in the output of M-x diary when you
think they should? (appt uses diary's date-parsing mechanism). Do they
contain recognizable times of day?
