Two suggestions to help diagnose your problem:
(1) Look in /var/log/messages and see if anything was reported by crond.
(2) Try to run the various scripts by hand (/var/log/cron shows the
commands cron was trying to run) and see what appears.
Apologies if these are obvious things that you've already tried, but I
can't guess what else might be going wrong. My first thought is that
some crucial file you are relying on has moved in the upgrade (some
system thing that RH moved to a "better" location and you've hardcoded
the path), but it's only a guess.
Cheers,
Malcolm
