That's what I do with two minor adjustements:

  * I started using load_namespaces to control each source resultset  
class also;
  * I don't put my model inside the catalyst application.

se 2) above. Most of the time I have Demo::Controller, Demo::Model,  
Demo::View, and my schema is Demo::Schema.

So I can use Demo::Schema in all my crons.

See the SYNOPSIS of http://search.cpan.org/perldoc? 
Catalyst::Model::DBIC::Schema on how to do it.
