After quite a long stint troubleshooting I finally got the PHP cli method to work.  I'm running Centos 6.x Cpanel and PHP 5.3.25.
I had followed instructions: http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC43/Managing+Scheduled+Jobs#ManagingScheduledJobs-PHPclimethod
added  "*/15 * * * * /usr/bin/php /path/to/civcrm/module/bin/cli.php -u user -p password -e Job -a execute" to cron and jobs didn't run.  No errors reported.
Changed "/usr/bin/php" to "/usr/bin/php-cli" and everything worked fine!

I've seen many cron issues, not sure why php-cli is necessary, but it may address other related issues ....

BTW - if this helps, I'm desperately in seek of karma
