As near as I can tell, the updater.php file that greasemonkey uses for a script installed from disk must have changed at some point. When I reloaded my app, it must have installed a broken updater.php that prevented my script from being executed. I was getting an error to the effect that there was a missing '=' sign in some xml in updater.php. Replacing updater.php with a file containing a comment seems to have fixed my problem.
