Now I know what your problem is, crontab -e when logged in as root
edit's /var/cron/tabs/root. Files in /var/cron *DO NOT* take a
user name field!! Only /etc/crontab does, and you use vi or any
other editor to change it, not crontab -e!!!!

CHeck that /var/cron/tabs/root is empty, rm it since you probably
don't want one there anyway, kill and restart cron.
