I've not used the django community aggregator, so I'm making some assumptions about it's functionality. If that app were to emit a signal for each feed entry that it processed, it would be fairly simple to write a signal handler that would create the associations that you want. With this approach, you wouldn't need another cron job, your processing would be done at the same time as django community aggregator's.
If you do need to do some manual feed parsing, you might try using the Universal Feed Parser python module: http://feedparser.org/. It's specifically designed for parsing RSS / Atom feeds, and so may be somewhat more useful than BeautifulSoup.
