Automating iSiloX on a MAC OS9.x

I thought about tacking this onto the existing thread "Automating iSilo on a MAC". But that discussion seems to be specific to OSX; so thought I'd start a new one for pre-OSX.

I'm wondering if anyone has any clues on getting the scheduling to work in the macos beta. I can't. Two problems:
1. I come back to the computer sometime after the scheduled time to find a dialog box which says the conversion will start automatically after the displayed 30sec counter ticks down to zero (which it has long since done ... and btw do we really have to have this dialog and counter anyway, or could it at least be optionally disabled?) [and an option at the bottom to delay the operation by a default 5 minutes, or another time period of choice.] But the operation hasn't happened at all. Immediately under the counter is a button ("start", I think?), which it says you can click to bypass the 30secs. I click that, and instantly comes the box that says conversion successful (but it didn't even happen!)
2. After I've clicked "OK" in the "successful" message box, the original dialog box immediately reappears and starts counting down another 30-secs. I click the button ... the box pops up saying "successful" (and so it would go for eternity, if I didn't click the delay button and then quit the app!)

NB: The conversion works perfectly manually, so the URL and hotsync destination are fine.

Anyone help? And BTW I'd gladly report this as a bug somewhere, if I knew where.
