might also want to see if someone on IRC can help.

In general, repeating the same set of commands with different variation is not very likely to work (IMO).

FIXED!  Thank you Hershel Robinson!

1.  modify civimail.cronjob.php. Change line 68 ((just after // you can run this program either from an apache command
or from the cli)).  Change   

                  if (isset($argv)) {
to
                  if (0) {

In command line of cron job use
wget 'http://www.example.org/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/bin/civimail.cronjob.php?name=admin&pass=333&key=xxx'

(single quotes were required)

Thanks again Hershel!
