Ok, I finally figured this out. The step does run; using the sample job
I provided, the table is updated with the current date. In my original
post, I provided the output of a DEBUG run; that should have had at
least as much detail as WARNING, yes?

At any rate, the problem was (drum roll...) I neglected to put a commit
after my update statement in the job step SQL. After doing so, the job
and step are both successful.

So now the only thing odd is that the update actually *was* committed,
even the job indicated it had failed. I say this because the updated
value persisted between reboots.

Thanks for persisting, Dave.
