Is the scheduled method added to the Schedule? Are it's parameters set
correctly?

Is there an entry in the STUPID_LOG_FILE? What does it say?

Does it work when you use the View tab of the scheduled method? Does it work
when you use the Trigger tab?

It's possible. I need more diagnostic information from you to see why it's
not working. The usual problem is insufficient permissions. Remember, the
scheduled method runs as Anonymous User. You have to give it proxy roles if
you want it to call any priviledged methods.
