Status on server is pending.
Communications is good, client backs up nightly as it is supposed to.  We were 
testing an include option.

I agree with Richard, there needs to be some way to specify when it should run.

I checked the server log, and after two hours the scheduler had not attempted 
to contact the client.
This is a recurring problem with clientactions, and needs to be addressed.

Thank you all for your suggestions.

Is the status from the server side pending or started (or something else)?

The client can only run one scheduled task at a time.  Another possibility is 
it is still running something else.
