Bill,

After the scheduled time, is there anything in the STUPID_LOG_FILE? What?

Looking at the management screen for the Schedule object, has the event been
rescheduled again? Or does it still have the past-due time?

Did you install the Client.py patch (if needed)?

Can you get a simpler method to fire on schedule -- i.e. one that doesn't
mess with Zope or sendmail -- for example:

Content-type: text/plain

Bang!

...which just makes a log entry?

Does the method have proxy roles that allow it to execute those management
functions (add product, send mail)?

That's about all I can think of.
