Chris,

AFAIK, the cleanup operation is run at the end of the default workflow.
Therefore I would take a look at your current workflow definition to make
sure that the operation is still there. If it is, then I am as puzzled as
you :P

Best regards
Rubén

P.S: Sorry for the duplicate response. Wrong address...
