max os x .plist not running as scheduled?

Hello all,

I am admittedly a newbie and have created a plist designed to fire off a shell script everyday at 3:00pm. It is located in /Library/LaunchDaemons/. I use it to mirror a hard local drive with a remote one. It worked one time but not again after that. I never restart the machine that it is on. the plist is below. If you can tell me what i am doing wrong please do.

Thanks,
movomito

Variables MSymbol Minteger Symbol whose name is 'integer'. MSymbol Mplist Symbol whose name is 'plist'. MSymbol Mtext Symbol whose name is 'mtext'. Detailed Description Property List objects and API for them. A property list (or plist for short) is a list of zero or more properties. A property consists of a key and a value, where key is a symbol and value is anything that can be cast to (void *). If the key of a property is a managing key, its value is a managed object. A property list itself is a managed objects. If each key of a plist is one of Msymbol, Mtext, Minteger, and Mplist, the plist is called as well-formed and represented by the following notation in the documentation. PLIST ::= '(' ELEMENT * ')' ELEMENT ::= INTEGER | SYMBOL | M-TEXT | PLIST M-TEXT ::= '"' text data ... '"' For instance, if a plist has four elements; integer -20, symbol of name 'sym', M-text of contents 'abc', and plist of integer 10 and symbol of name 'another-symbol', it is represented as this: (-20 sym 'abc' (10 another-symbol)) Typedef Documentation typedef struct MPlist MPlist Type of property list objects. The type MPlist is for a property list object. Its internal structure is concealed from application programs. Variable Documentation MSymbol Minteger Symbol whose name is 'integer'. The symbol Minteger has the name 'integer'. The value of a property whose key is Minteger must be an integer. MSymbol Mplist Symbol whose name is 'plist'. The symbol Mplist has the name 'plist'. It is a managing key. A value of a property whose key is Mplist must be a plist. MSymbol Mtext Symbol whose name is 'mtext'. The symbol Mtext has the name 'mtext'. It is a managing key. A value of a property whose key is Mtext must be an M-text. Author Generated automatically by Doxygen for The m17n Library from the source code. COPYRIGHT
