There is an odd bug that only appears to affect folk in the Aussie & NZ timezones (well that I know of). Basically the web based CF Admin interface doesn't allow you to schedule or manage tasks.
I worked with Matt Bryant (http://www.willpower.com.au/) and a Macromedia Engineer to unravel the problem. Rather than go into the detail of the fix (and any legal issues that might be associated with that), I've included the encrypted files in a zip:
Schedulefix.zip (35k)
Unzip the files into the following directory, overwriting the files that are there now... (a backup wouldn't go astray):
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\CFIDE\administrator\scheduler
I stress that this is not an official fix and the usual disclaimers apply - use at your own peril. That said, if you back up the templates, reversing out the fix is really a no-brainer. I'm reliably told that the patch has made it into the Macromedia source control and if it passes QA will likely make the next updater - but heh, no guarantees.

Looks like one of the files in the zip has a typo:
schedultasks.cfm should be scheduletasks.cfm
Thanks to Tim McAuliffe for pointing that out! Apologies for my laziness but I can't be bothered to update it.

This should have been fixed in CFMX updater 2 -- just goes to show they're listening.. some of the time :)
