This is not an answer, just my workaround:
I abandoned the scheduled task features in my OpenBD apps, and just
set cron jobs directly at the Linux level myself. The command syntax
I use for these cron entries is: wget -O /dev/null
http://mydomain.com/taskScript.cfm 2> /dev/null
This tells the job to load the url (thus running the script) and
then discard the resulting output. Otherwise I hear that the server
would log all the output somewhere...

Hey Mini,
Without any additional experience with the plugin I would
assume you are having issues because it's meant to run under a
web app with its own OpenBD instance. I know I there used to
be some issue with the cfscheduler as well when run under an
OpenBD instance with multiple sites and tomcat. Hopefully
someone can confirm or give more direction soon.

- The documentation says you can set the directory
where the cron plugin works by using the function
CronSetDirectory(). Have you tried this? Try using
this function and choose a directory you know you
have access to within the web application. You
mentioned you found the folder within another web
app folder. You likely have to call CronEnable from
the same app that the Cron directory is under.
Yes, I ran the CronSetDirectory() and then did a
systemwide search for the filename. I found it in
another site's root directory, and I am not quite sure
why it picked that particular place to put them.
When I ran CronEnable(), all it replies with is YES.
No matter what I put in the (). So I can't seem to
turn it on or off. And further more it doesn't run
anything in those folders it created.
- How is your OpenBD setup? Do you have multiple
sites per OpenBd instance or does each of your web
apps have its own OpenBD instance. From the way the
documentation is written is seems like the Cron
plugin assumes each web app has its own OpenBD
instance.
I have 1 openbd, multiple sites. I followed the
directions (for the most part) of the attached file.
So all I do is edit server.xml in tomcat and ad
another site.
- Finally, if your tasks create output you can view
the output by checking in the /WEB-INF/bluedragon/work/
directory. Maybe this will help you troubleshoot
more
My task is to run a script every 5 minutes that
checks for a file, adds what's in the file to the
database, then deletes it. No output needed. To get
around this for now, I launched the Administrator and
used the cfschedule plugin to do it.

Hope that is
helpful.

Now I have a second
problem, it won't let me delete anything I put in
the folder, nor will it let me delete the folder it
created. As well as
I can not stop the Crontab from running.
I have tried:
<cfoutput>
#Cronenable( enable = false )#
</cfoutput>
<cfset error = Croneable(false) />
<cfset error = Croneable('false') />
