You're looking in the wrong place. 999.local runs /etc/daily.local,
not the stuff in /usr/local/etc/periodic. That's run directly by
/usr/sbin/periodic.

The local periodic directories are structured just like
/etc/periodic. If you want something run daily from that directory,
put it in /usr/local/etc/periodic/daily. Ditto for weekly and
monthly.
