Depending on how you created the file the format may or may not be okay.
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.
