No, the bot supposed to run perfectly regardless the "Powerful Usergroups" setting has values or not.
The "Powerful Usergroups" setting's function is to skip checking posts for those powerful users during posting/editing, that's all.
By the way, there's another bug confirmed today described HERE. It may be the reason of your problem. A fixed update will be released v.soon.

But I get NO reports of that area that had the dead link in it!!

Yes, there's a bug confirmed today causing this problem described HERE. A fixed update will be released v.soon.

I tried it via cron job but only checks the amound of threads that i have setup in setting..

It already do so, but since the checking process is heavy & may cause a high load on the server with large number of posts, then the bot check posts in batches that you specify how many from the product's settings. Please if you mean something else, let me know.
