The only difference that I see from my setup (which works), is that my class is annotated with @Component rather than @Service. Other things to check:

• whether you have the proper jars on the classpath (spring-context, I think)
• put a breakpoint and check whether it really isn't executing
• double-check the cron expression (I admit I always consult the docs for that). Or use a fixed delay, just to check if it works
• try upgrading to 3.0.5 or the latest 3.1 snapshot.
