Thanks to a comment from s.podkowinski on the issue tracker, he noted
that use of the 1.3.1 version of the launcher allows a command line
update_cron to succeed. So, I've reverted to the prior version of the
launcher and successfully made the cron changes that I wanted. I
assume that if I'm not using any new 1.3.2 features that I can keep
using the 1.3.1 launcher for development and app deployment - somebody
please let me know if that might cause any problems.
