Two things come to mind.
1) I've found that I have to restart MIS after making ANY changes using the
event editor for it to show up.
2) If you've got your node set up in the "Echomail Nodes" (under Networking) option, then you should be able to just enter an hourly event. Under "Shell", I use "mis poll forced" and that polls all of my nodes.
Maybe one of the two will give you some help. Let us know!
