I know I managed to use it in a lisp function once before.  I think I
had to use diary-hook to run the function though.  I'll have to look
at it closer later on.   I'm heading out tonight and will be away all
week.

Ah, I think it's missing diary-lib, try invoking it like this:

emacs -batch -l diary-lib -l /home/jmiller/local/lisp/emacs-diary-day.el 

Or add (require 'diary-lib) at the beginning of emacs-diary-day.el.
