I had this problem about a year ago. The trick is to insert a function 
that returns the strings you need.

For example this is the function I used.

(defun org-csa () ;this strange function only *returns* the desired 
;text, not inserts to the buffer.
"   :PROPERTIES:
       :ORDERED: t
    :END:
*** TODO   [[ooo:\"CSA Template.ott\" &][fill out template form]]
*** TODO   [[shell:claws-mail address@hidden &][submit for approval/ 
fixes]]
*** TODO   save to text
*** TODO   [[shell:claws-mail address@hidden it to Darren]]")

Then you make your remember template call this function.
Like this:

("CSA" ?C "* TODO %^{topic}  [/]  %^g\n %t\n %(org-csa) \n %&" "~/.org/
CSA.org" bottom)
