Wonderful! Thanks to all the wonderful people here I got my crontab setup and working great but now something else is b0rked.

After that final setup, when I tried to ssh back in to monitor some things, I received a "Connection closed by 192.168.10.250" error. (that IP you can probably guess is the server)

After VNCing into the server, according to console.log, "Timeout before authentication for 192.168.10.42"

I have tried restarting the server. /etc/sshd_config is all defaults (commented, so I'm going to assume that means default) except for the last line which seems to be dealing with sftp. I've disabled that though on the FTP server but left that in there just in case it was being used by something.

On the client side, my PowerBook's /etc/ssh_config file has this to say for itself:
ServerAliveInterval 150
ServerAliveCountMax 10
TCPKeepAlive yes
So it shouldn't be timing out so fast while attempting to establish the connection. To make it a bit more clear, I don't even get a login prompt, just the rejection.
