Hi,

I can't see if you stripped empty lines of the above output.
But give a try to the following from crontab(5) manpage:

                                       Note that if the line does
       not have a trailing newline  character,  the  entire  line
       will  be  silently  ignored  by both crontab and cron; the
       command will never be executed.
