Drupal Panel Template Files

I'm using Panels extensively and I'm trying to override the add/edit form of a content type. I themed the content types edit form by registering the template file in template.php and then creating the a template file called node-meeting-edit.tpl.php. When I used panels to override the add/edit form and added the general form pane, the form went back to its original display.

If I disable the form, everything works fine. Is there a way to get panels to use the template file for the forms? I have a feeling i may have to go the route of using the Forms API. If so can anyone point me in the right direction to creating that form which includes cck fields.
