mutil maint.ini

If I run this manually, it runs fine.  There appears to be no syntax issue in the INI file.  However, I cannot make this run in an automated fashion.  

Every so often I log in and run it manually.

I have it set up with these settings:

Active: Yes
Description: Nightly Maintenance
Event Type: Shell
Exec Hour: 11
Exec Min: 0
Shell: mutil maint.ini
Semaphore: <none>
Kill After: <none>
Warning: 0

SMTWTFS all set to Yes.

I have tried fiddling with the pathnames.  I am running v1.12 A47 (need to update this at some point) on Debian.

BTW in case anyone is wondering - That odd 11am exec hour is because my board is configured as UTC, so that's 3am my time.  Long story.

I suppose an option is to just set it up as a cronjob.  I'd prefer not to.  Is there any downside to doing it that way?

Thanks folks; this has been baffling me for months.  All my other jobs (like the polling) works fine.
