The range specification of time and days of the week need to be in
ascending order. In other words, the start time (or day) needs to be
lower than the end and will not "wrap round".

To work as you want, I would rewrite those rules as:

  hg-campus;;conn disk ssh volchk;;1-5;0000-0900 1700-2359;
ep-oncall-email ep-oncall-pager:~10-10
  hg-campus;;conn disk ssh volchk;;0 6;*;ep-oncall-email
ep-oncall-pager:~10-10

In the first rule, the time is broken into two ranges. In the second,
the days of the week are given as two values (Sunday and Saturday)
instead of a range.

Cheers, Phil.
