Since you're cat-ing the crontab directly, I feel the need to ask: are you using `crontab -e' to edit the crontab? This ensures the file has the correct fields, is installed correctly, and most importantly, _notifies_ cron that it has changed. You can also use `crontab -l' instead of `cat'; its bit easier at least. As always, you should probably start with thoroughly reading the relevant man pages.
