Follow-up on this; 
1. Stopped and restarted crond and still didn't work.
2. I checked /etc/crontab and there was no entry for the 
cron.quarter-hourly folder!
There is an entry for all of the other cron folders - why not the 
quarter-hourly one? Is this something that someone up at Cobalt 
forgot or are we *supposed* to make it watch that folder ourselves?
So I added the following line to /etc/crontab:
0,15,30,45 * * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.quarter-hourly
And the script is working fine now.
