Marwan, are these scripts running as root? Perhaps you could modify the 
scripts to do

ipfw -a list

when they end, and put their outputs in a file e.g.

0 3 * * * /path/deny.sh >> /root/ipfwJob
0 15 * * * /path/enable.sh >> /root/ipfwJob

Also add

echo deny (or enable) starting

to the top of each script then post back with the contents of /root/ipfwJob 
after they've both run.
