My DSL provider kindly gives me (almost) unlimited data through the night but limits my 9am-6pm usage to 2GB per month. This is fine as I am at work during this time and means that I plan any downloads for overnight.

I enabled the scheduling feature of uTorrent, thinking that this would stop any downloading at 9am, but this didn't work and I returned home to find that it had continued downloading an additional 8GB through the day, costing me about £12. Dang.

After checking all the settings, I tried it again at the weekend and watched as the clock rolled over the designated time, but uTorrent kept downloading.

What am I doing wrong?

I remember this happened to me too. I solved it by turning off the scheduler for all time periods and then setting it up again. Uncheck the Enable Scheduler box, check it again, 'color' all the time boxes in white (i.e. Turn off), and then color the time periods you want with green again.
