For me this gets unscheduled at the moment you set the expiration in the post.
This is the debug log:
2013-07-24 11:54:05
2153 -> SCHEDULED at Wed, 24 Jul 2013 10:56:00 +0000 (1374663360) with options Array ( [expireType] => delete [id] => 2153 )
2013-07-24 11:54:05
2153 -> UNSCHEDULED

Most of the comments are referring to the need to reset cron in our server, and actually this make sense because the plugin works perfect in my local machine…
To be able to manage the cron in the server I installed this other plugin:
http://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/wp-cron-control/
Author’s website with instructions: http://yoast.com/review/wp-cron-control/

But at some point I need to setup a system cron job in the server…  it’s very tricky to me to commit it… Bellow you have some instructions about how to do it…

You enabled WP-Cron Control. To make sure that scheduled tasks are still executed correctly, you will need to setup a system cron job that will call wp-cron.php with the secret parameter defined in the settings.
You can use the function defined in this script and set up a cron job that calls either:
php /home/www_poc/www/wp-content/plugins/wp-cron-control/wp-cron-control.php http://exampleofmysite.comfd91919551cb3a3ddd44dfc2caa8e241
or
wget -q “http://exampleofmysite/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron&fd91919551cb3a3ddd44dfc2caa8e241”
You can set an interval as low as one minute, but should consider a reasonable value of 5-15 minutes as well.
If you need help setting up a cron job please refer to the documentation that your provider offers.
Anyway, chances are high that either the CPanel, Plesk, or crontab documentation will help you.

 
I tried to do it through the terminal following this instructions… http://wiki.kayako.com/display/DOCS/Setting+up+a+server+cron+or+scheduled+task
But I’m stuck as I’m not very familiar with cron and setting stuff on my server using the command-line interface
Any thoughts about how to do it?
Thank you!
Javi.
