bizarre job behavior

Look in the 'sysjobs' table of the msdb database. See if
the there is an entry for the jobs. If there is, check
the 'originating_server' column. It may still have the old
server name in it......

No, it has the correct server name since I scripted/ created the jobs
instead of moving them.
