I should have mentioned that I didn't know that the invoking script
also brought up a dialog box until I got the cron job set up properly
so it finally worked.
Ah, the joy of learning multiple new technologies (new to me, anyway)
at once.

Because I wanted to use Cron I created an applet that invokes the
"Enable Folder Actions" script. I created an invoking applet because
turning "Enable Folder Actions" into an applet resulted in a dialog
appearing asking if it should run or quit (run is the default). I need
it to run without having to be watched. How do I prevent the appearance
of the dialog? I don't have any user interaction in my script. Does
Applescript assume you want input in applets unless you expressly say
that you don't?
Here is the invoking script:
tell application "Finder"
set old_delimiters to AppleScript's text item delimiters
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ":"
activate "Server HD:Library:Scripts:Folder Actions:Enable Folder
Actions.scpt"
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to old_delimiters
end tell
