I have logged a call and they recommend installing MP3, which we're
going to do at some point soon. My next step is going to be waiting
until the end of the week and create a new policy (this will probably
happen before upgrading to MP3); I was going to do this last week but
the jobs ran as they should on Thursday night so I thought it might be
OK again. It appears this is not the case.

Cheers,

Tim

This is a known issue with the scheduler and MP3 does not fix it.  In
fact, the latest version of the scheduler (we get a new release every
day or two) still doesn't fix all of the issues.  The current release is
better than the previous ones, and it's quite possible that it's good
enough for you.

Please log a support call with Symantec.
