Found my answer - there's a script called 0anacron in /etc/cron.daily that runs 'anacron -u cron.daily' which updates anacron's time stamps without actually running the scripts. So, it's worth noting that if you want something in /etc/crontab to be run by anacron if crontab fails, it needs to be in both places, and the cron job has to update the anacron stamp....
