Try to change the frontName, it may make some conflicts with newer version of magento :

app/code/local/Mxsxs2/Cron/etc/config.xml:

        <?xml version="1.0"?>
        <config>
           <modules>
              <Mxsxs2_Cron>
                <version>1.0.0</version>
               </Mxsxs2_Cron>
           </modules>
           <frontend>
               <routers>
                 <cron>
                    <use>standard</use>
                     <args>
                       <module>Mxsxs2_Cron</module>
                       <frontName>testname</frontName>
                     </args>
                 </cron>
              </routers>
           </frontend>
        </config>

clear cache then access the url mydomain/index.php/testname

I have the latest Magento 1.9.x.x installed and had a similar problem. To debug it this question helps me a lot:Why is my Magento module not being loaded?. Basically you need to check Mage_Core_Model_Config. I also wonder why I can see my module in System->Configuration->Advanced->Advanced but it gives 404 error. Basically it's an error in Magento and the names for modules are broken. Somewhere Magento forces the names to have the first character Upper-case. It's not working with the first character lower-case (but it is shown in ystem->Configuration->Advanced->Advanced).
