[Spacewalk-list] Task Schedules not running automatically

[Jagga Soorma]

Everything seems to be running fine:

# rhn-satellite status
router (pid 2851) is running...
sm (pid 2861) is running...
c2s (pid 2871) is running...
s2s (pid 2881) is running...
tomcat6 (pid 1915) is running...                           [  OK  ]
httpd (pid  1976) is running...
osa-dispatcher (pid  2898) is running...
rhn-search is running (2139).
cobblerd (pid 8187) is running...
RHN Taskomatic is running (19902).

One thing to point out is that I am using a external postgres db.  Not
sure if that is causing any issues here?  Not sure what else to check
but things look good from a configuration/service perspective.  What
am I missing here?

Thanks!
