Your init file looks good. Note that templates are only used for new
files. If plan turns up an existing file, then it won't be used.
Is that what's happening here?

Okay, let's start with task IDs.

Just (require 'planner-id). That's all you have to do. With that,
changing the text of the task updates the text of the linked task. If
you don't find a use for this, you can disable it without any harm.

As for remember-planner, this is a good start:

  (require 'remember-bbdb)   ;; Just to get nicer names from e-mail
  (setq remember-annotation-functions planner-annotation-functions)
  (setq remember-handler-functions '(remember-planner-append))
  (global-set-key '[f9] 'remember)

Then try hitting F9 from anywhere. C-c C-c to save the note to the
current day page. You'll be prompted for a plan page, but that's
optional.
