I set up a couple more of them but they did not send.

In the Beatitude control panel, make sure that the scheduled mailing is active. If it's passed it's expected time of sending, it probably will deactivate itself.

Did set up a cronjob for Mystery Girl, while I was at it, and that seems like it worked.  No bounces in it right now to test.
Worthy of note is that with a list of about 25k, MG needs to run about a dozen times to clear them all out after sending.  Once doesn't do it.

By default, Mystery Girl will look at 100 messages, and then quit. If you have more than 100 messages awaiting it, it will take a few times to run the script to handle all of the bounces.

So I guess I should set the cronjob for it to run every 15 minutes for about 3 hours every night in the middle of the night?
My newsletters are erratic in schedule.  Sometimes 3 a week, sometimes 3 weeks between, but no harm in letting it run every night is there:

That should be fine.

Where can I learn how to set up the cron for that schedule?

In the fine manual:

Fixing the perl libs did it. Looks like at least it sees it now:

Never mind.  I needed it for tomorrow morning and am not going to count on it at this late date, nor am I going to mess with it any more right now.  I arranged with the client to send it manually at a time when I'll be here.

Thanks for all your help on this.  I learned a lot, even though I didn't get it set to handle my email broadcast.

You have to explicitly change the path to the perl libraries and the Dada Mail libraries.

Read the Fine Manual :)

This is a step you have to do for dada_bridge.pl and Mystery Girl as well. Their docs are slightly more verbose on how to do all this:

      http://mojo.skazat.com/support/documentation/dada_bounce_handler.pl.html#configuration

(under, "Change the lib path)

Finding the site-wide perl libraries shouldn't be a problem, since you're getting into the command line stuff, you'll have to also add the Dada Mail perl libraries, which for you specifically, are probably at:

    /home/meetingsandmixers/www/cgi-bin/dada/
       /home/meetingsandmixers/www/cgi-bin/dada/DADA/perllib

Hazzah!
