Periodic scripts are run from /etc/crontab - is that file 
present/correct? (Note: Don't install this crontab using the crontab 
command as you do for other users - /etc/crontab will be checked by cron 
automatically)

Is cron running? Set cron_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf if not. The 
default is to make it run however, so this would only be needed if 
someome had altered /etc/defaults/rc.conf
