Sorry to bring this back up, but I'm having the same problem. I thought I set the cron to run the script, but maybe I'm doing it wrong?
Forgive me for being obtuse, but I haven't mucked around with my mt in over a year. The Movable Type Application directory, that's the /cgi-bin directory, yes?
And I need to make it the full path from the server (ie: /home/username, etc), right?
And in the manual, the example path goes like this:
cd /path/to/mt/; ./tools/run-periodic-tasks
Do I need to have the 'cd' in front, and the semi-colon and period separating the path and the tools etc?
Again, I'm sorry for all the nitpicky questions, but I've been monkeying with this for the better part of a day, with no success.
Do you have cron set up to run the periodic tasks script?

Never mind. I apparently figured it out. Thanks, though!
