That is more likely an issue with either the scheduler service being unable to run the deployment job or that the deployment tracker is not successfully updating the console with the deployment information.
If you deploy and see it sitting at scheduled - go to the target system, C:\Windows\Propatches\Install. Of the newest files in this folder do you have a .bat or .HIS file here?
.bat will still exist if the deployment job has not run
.HIS will exist if the deployment job has run and completed
