schedule problem

Double-click on the task in the schedule to open it. The Task type should be 'recurring', and the data set name should be 'Recycle Bin'. On the 'Schedule' tab, the Recurrence Pattern should be set to 'Daily'.
I am not aware of any problems with the Scheduler, but have set up a task like yours to see if I can reproduce what you describe.

The task I set up ran OK. I am inclined to think that the OP did not set the task to be 'recurring'.
This is a (fairly minor) UI issue; if you want to set up a scheduled task, you have to change something on both tabs, so you can never see all you have to do at one go. Maybe, the recurrence pattern should have a 'None' option, which would be the default; as soon as this was changed, the Task Type on the other tab would automatically change to 'Recurring'. That would be more intuitive for new users, particularly former users of Eraser 5.
