Sorry folks, this whole thread looks fbcommunity-ish, so I'll just post my final comment here to get it over with.
By "tunneling down" i mean, if you've got a secured app, and within it you have a subdirectory or even a single template you want directly executed by the Scheduler, forget it. Save your hair and relocate the Scheduler components to a separate directory.
