No errors? They update your ports tree as expected?

This is fine.

Looking back over the thread, you mention that, in cron, you're
running the following:

    portsnap cron
    portsnap -I update
	     ^^

You also say that you think your process isn't functioning because
the ctimes in /usr/ports are too old. You do realize that '-I'
causes portsnap to "update INDEX files, but not the rest of the
ports tree" (man 8 portsnap).
