I have the same problem. I find that if evolution-alarm-notify isn't
running I don't get them. The problem is that for me at least is that
e-a-n crashes just about every time I run evo. You could try running
it manually and see if that works, it does sometimes (not regularly
though) for me.

It looks like this problem is bugzilla and I added some details to it
but couldn't work out how to add the current version to the bug to try
and get it added to the bug day last friday.
