Answered- Thanks folks - I want to leave this here in case someone else goes digging for an answer:
Deploying is not enough to get the cron jobs going, you have to use the appcfg.py (found in the google_appengine directory after installing the SDK) to update the cron. Here's the exact command that pushed my cron.yaml to AppEngine: ./appcfg.py update_cron /path/to/app-root/ --no_cookies --noauth_local_webserver -A xxxx *Where "xxx" is my cloud project id Hope that helps anyone in the future!
