I found the answer to my problem. I've discovered that when I installed Zimbra there was no cron installed and by extension, no crontab. It seems Zimbra needs cron for the logger, at least.
(I installed Zimbra on Ubuntu Dapper that had been installed on an LV via debootstrap. debootstrap evidently installs only a minimal OS that didn't include quite a few files that Zimbra needs - including crontab).
For whatever reason, Zimbra chose not to complain about the lack of cron during installation and so I didn't even know about it until I looked into things a bit more. apt-get installed cron just fine but Zimbra was still complaining about the logger service needing to be installed. Further digging resulted in the realization that zimbra (the user) didn't have its own crontab but needed one. Mucking around in the perl installation scripts yielded the contents of what should be "crontab -u zimbra -l".
It seems to be working now. At least I no longer have my original issue.
