I did try adding 0,15,30,45 * * * * /var/www/cgi-bin/mt/tools/run-periodic-tasks
But for some reason it's still not wroking.
Any other ideas?

Do you need to tell it that you want to use perl to run the program? I know with php scripts you have to provide the path to php first then the path to the php script. Does the script work if you access it via a browser?
UPDATE: I found this in regards to running other processes of MT in cron. It includes the path to perl first. http://underscorebleach.net/jotsheet/2005/02/prevent-movable-type-trackback-spam Under Step 4: Setting up the cronjob
Found something else that may be helpful. These post did not envolve MT but the person was trying to run a perl script via cron. http://www.dbforums.com/archive/index.php/t-321309.html
The last person to post mentions that they often create a shell script as a wrapper to a perl script in order to set up the correct enviroment for the script to run in. In other words the shell script changes direcotries and sets any variables needed and such.
