This works for me, must be your use of thunk-to-function parameters:

scala> object Concurrency {
     |   import java.util.concurrent.Executors
     |   import akka.dispatch.ExecutionContexts
     |   import akka.actor._
     |   import scala.concurrent._
     |   import scala.concurrent.duration._
     |   object Log { def warn(s: String): Unit = System.err.println(s) }
     |   private val system = ActorSystem("system", defaultExecutionContext
= Some(ExecutionContexts.fromExecutor(Executors.newCachedThreadPool())))
     |   import system.dispatcher
     |   private val scheduler = system.scheduler
     |   Log.warn("starting up actor system")
     |   Future { Log.warn("runNow works") }
     |   scheduler.scheduleOnce(3.seconds)(Log.warn("scheduleOnce works"))
     | }
defined object Concurrency

scala> Concurrency.toString
starting up actor system
runNow works
res0: String = Concurrency$@417781bc

scala> scheduleOnce works
