Cisco KRON job not doing anything?

Righty ho, not sure how many people will know the answer to this, but what they hey!

I've got 5 sets of switches here (iSCSI, Backup, Core, Client and Print), all of which have the same KRON jobs set to copy their configs to TFTP 7 days a week (one job per day). 4 of the 5 sets of switches will happily send their running-config over to the tftp server, 1 of the 5 refuses to play ball.

Now, they are not all the same. We have a 3-way stack of 3750X's in Core, a stack of 2 3750G-24TS-1U's in iSCSI, and the same again in Backup. The Client stack consists of 3750G-48TS-1U and a 3750G-24TS-1U, and finally Print is a single 3560-48TS.

Print is the one that's not playing ball.

Essentially all the switches have the following (obviously with 7 occurrences):

Code:
kron occurrence MON-BACKUP at 14:00 Mon recurring
 policy-list cfg-bu
!
kron policy-list cfg-bu
 cli copy system:/running-config tftp://1.1.1.1/SWITCHNAME-CFG.txt
!

IP address of TFTP and Switch Name changed in the above example.

What is incredibly odd however, is that on the one switch that doesn't work, the kron policy-list gets deleted from the running config after a scheduled recurrence, so subsequent attempts will fail to run due to there not being a policy-list to execute!

Am I missing something obvious with the 3560? Does it not support Kron?

Thanks!
 
I'm sure you've checked but anything in the logs and is the system clock correct? What IOS revision is it running?

I'd also do a WHO and see if for some reason sessions aren't being killed off - we have an issue at the moment TAC are looking at and the event wouldn't run due to this.
