Cannot delete (drop) scheduled job!

Background:1.) I'm the apps support person, not the DBA  2.) We are upgrading/migrating the app and DB

The DBA upgraded the DB from Oracle 11.1.0.7 to 11.2.0.3 on a 2003 32-bit windows server, then cloned it and moved to a 2008 64-bit server...and then patched the DB.

I'm trying to run the application's upgrade on the DB, but it is hanging up on two jobs!  I can't disable them nor can I drop them!  I'm guessing some sort of corruption, but don't know how to deal with it.

I tried from SQL Developer and from SQLPLUS directly on the Oracle server.  I restarted the server several times as well.

SQL> exec dbms_scheduler.drop_job('EXPIRE_TOKENS_JOB',force => TRUE);

BEGIN dbms_scheduler.drop_job('EXPIRE_TOKENS_JOB',force => TRUE); END;
