I don't know why it never fires, I would think that should fire at 0
min, 6 hour.  (not every six hours).  I think that what you might want
would be 0 6,12,18,24 * * * .  I'm not 100% sure about the 24, and to be
cautious I would set the cron to be something like 50 5,11,17,23 * * *
which would poll at 05:50, 11:50, 17:50 and 23:50.

If that does not fire for you, then something else is wrong.
