Many thanks to Ric Anderson, Ryan Krenzische, Anthony Florendo, Darren Dunham, and Bruce Shaw for taking a crack at this one. The consensus seems to be a bad clock/timer module - it has a non-user-replacable battery. As a workaround, I simply put a little watchdog job in my crontab to wake cron up every minute and while it's not perfect it's plenty fine for this machine. Thanks again to all the contributors!
