Scheduled Tasks aren't firing? (AOD Indexing)

So, Iā€™m looking at the debug log and seeing a bunch of entries which indicate that the task is NOT firing. Hereā€™s an example of what Iā€™m seeing.

Why would it not see this as valid when itā€™s set to run every minute?

In my particular case, Iā€™m trying to rebuild the AOD Index - but itā€™s not recreating the modules/AOD_Index/Index directory. However, it IS populating aod_index and aod_indexevent.

On a quasi-related question, scheduled tasks donā€™t have to be in GMT (as the db timestamps are), correct?

Augh.

If you use an external DB, make sure that your NTP and times are synchronized otherwise the scheduler will likely fail!

I edited Schedulers.php to print the $validTimes to the debug log ā€¦ Iā€™m still seeing some weird things here, but at least ā€œevery minuteā€ is working.
