My denyhost script is doing it's job by adding:

Where do you see this (i.e. logged by what)? hosts.allow doesn't
block the IP from connecting to the port, it blocks the application
that listens on the port from allowing this IP to authenticate.
e.g. your firewall may still log the connection.

Is there a cron job or something that has
to re-read the hosts.allow file before it the IP will be blocked?

No.
