buildbot scheduler not working - scheduler

Question

I have essentially the same problem discussed here buildbot scheduler not work, but the answer there may not apply -- possibly because I've got a newer version of buildbot
>buildbot --version
Buildbot version: 0.8.12
Twisted version: 16.2.0
running on Windows 7 64-bit.
I'd like an svn commit to trigger the buildbot builders, but instead, only the Periodic scheduler (when enabled) triggers the builders. The log shows
2016-06-10 11:40:18-0700 [-] SVNPoller: polling
2016-06-10 11:40:18-0700 [-] SVNPoller: svnurl=file:///G:/buildbot/buildbot_repo/trunk/triggers_for_testing, root=file:///G:/buildbot/buildbot_repo, so prefix=trunk/triggers_for_testing

But the scheduler does not trigger the builders.
The answer at the above cited question says the log should include entries "added change Change(..." if the SVNPoller is working, and then advises what to look for within those entries. My log does not include any such entries.
Below are a snip of the master.cfg and (tail of) twistd.log files.
Any help most appreciated.
