Did you create the file in /etc/cron.d, or as a user with 'crontab -e'? Given that you say 'crontab -l' seems okay I suspect the latter.
From the original post, Long Wind seems to have used the original method of creating crontabs:
crontab <name of file to use as new crontab> The usual sequence (on the old Unix systems I used to admin) was: crontab -l > mycronfile vi mycronfile (to edit) crontab mycronfile crontab -e is much easier and safer to use. -- Dom
