	I'm not sure, but I suspect that you'll find it's only every 5 
minutes in the 0-15 minutes part of the hour, and the 30-45 minutes part 
of the hour.  Try schedule  = (  Min00_05 Min30_35 )

        Hopefully it's more obvious what that does.

	I'm not sure enough of the internal workings of cfengine to 
explain exactly why yours does what it does, but I know the above works 
for me, and I'm guessing that that's essentially what you're trying to do. 
As to my guess as to what it's doing now, that's based on a gut feeling, 
not a rational explanation.
