Ok, I added my blacklist script to the /etc/cron.daily subdirectory. I gave it the same ownership and rights as the other scripts in there.

Oh, you mean you can create an entry in root's crontab to run it.

I usually put the scripts in /usr/etc, then put a symlink from the script to something in /etc/cron.daily (or whatever). That works.

May I suggest you develop some logging or error reporting that shows you if the script is getting called?
