I've had to jump through a few hoops before to find out why dbms_stats
doesn't work.

You might want to try this to start:

Wrap the call to dbms_stats in a PL/SQL procedure.

Use the EXCEPTION clause to trap errors, then capture the error stack and
timestamp of the failure
and save in a table, or write to the alert log.

Then find out what else was happening at that time that may have stopped
your job.

If that doesn't help, then you may want to include a 10046 level 0 trace.

Level 0 doesn't not show waits or binds, but for this test it is not
important to capture those.

Minimizing the size of the trace file is important however, and it can be
large.

If that doesn't work, there is other tracing that can be done on dbms_stats
directly,  but
that is another post in case this bit doesn't help.
