First of. Maybe your script runs into an error, and stops. It's hard to 
tell without seing the script what the problem is. It's most likely not 
a BTreeFolder issue.

If you need to do processing on an image, you should subclass the CMF 
Image class, and overwrite the methods necessary for postprocessing your 
images. That is a better solution than a cron job.
