Could you describe which problem?

Could it be because of the accent in Cédric? UTF-8 vs ISO Latin 1?
Personally, I use this, and it works (TM):
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
** January
%%(diary-anniversary 1979 01 15) Birthday of Sofia (%d years)
%%(diary-anniversary 1976 01 27) Birthday of Thomas (%d years)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

As `org-anniversary' is defined in `org-agenda':
╭────
│ org-anniversary is a Lisp function in `org-agenda.el'.
│
│ (org-anniversary YEAR MONTH DAY &optional MARK)
│
│ Like `diary-anniversary', but with fixed (ISO) order of arguments.
╰────
adding a:
(require 'org-agenda)
somewhere at the top of your .emacs could resolve that problem?
