I've never experienced any problems with the cf scheduler myself. That doesn't necessarily mean they're not there, I just haven't run into them. If you want to execute a command line statement from a coldfusion page, you want to use <cfexecute> ... which can be rather frustrating to figure out ... however, it doesn't sound like you need to do any ColdFusion work with this particular task, so I'd recommend looking into the Windows scheduler to run the command instead. I can't point you to any documentation off the top of my head, but I'm sure it's out there. :)
