What does

svccfg -s svc:/system/idmap listprop "config/*" 

show after making the settings?  Also, did you "svcadm restart idmap" after setting the timeouts?

What are you using to make the query in the cron job?  Checking idmap.db per the notes in feature #677 shows the expiration time being set properly in the database in oi_151a7.  

Have Fun!
