add_action not adding action to hook

I am trying to schedule a function to run immediately in the background. I can schedule the hook, but there’s no function attached to it!?

The function works. I’ve successfully called it but it’s slow so I want it to run in the background.

Here’s the code I’m using to schedule it.

function rmi_delete_all_providers(){ 
//stuff
}
add_action('rmi_bg','rmi_delete_all_providers',10,0);
wp_schedule_single_event( time(), 'rmi_bg' );
spawn_cron();

I’ve run this with a delay so I can check it in WP Crontrol. The hook is there, but there is no associated action. I’ve also tried the add_action without the optional values.

Any ideas why I can’t get this function to properly attach to the hook?
