    First of all, apologies to all for the thread hijack--I should have
    checked if there was a reference header... At this point, it's probably
    not useful for me to go back and try and fix this.

    My /etc/crontab is a carbon copy of yours, down to the permissions, so I
    have a hard time believing that's the issue. Will check out the cron.d
    directory, but last time I checked it was empty.

    Thanks for the help, though. Anyone recognize what condition would cause
    the error I'm seeing in the logs?

    Mike
