Well ... it's working now. It seems that there is a delay with
registering the crontab change until the next minute at one second
after. All my tests were being done for the upcoming minute. A few
minutes after sending that last email, the message came ... I altered my
crontab and now my other jobs are working as well.
Oddly, on my FreeBSD machine, crontab changes take effect immediately
(changes two seconds before will still trigger the job to run).
