I was hoping this would be addressed in 1.1.4, but the updates overwrote the fixes/files in this thread and both trophy and user group promotion crons stopped working again. Running them manually from the ACP vs. waiting for cron fails too.
Update: I used the same fixes/files in the thread. Ran it from the ACP. Seems to be working.
@Jake This just saved my life after a complete overhaul of permissions (thanks for advice @Brogan)
It correctly moved all users > 5 posts into a new group. Regular cron wasnt cutting it but this worked fine on 1.3
Had to remove the activity clause, but otherwise fine
