Can you login to your machine as admin and type crontab -l and mail us the 
output. I suspect a typo in the crontab
How did you create the crontab ? With crontab -e ?
Any line should look like
* * * * * command
where the stars indicate minutes, hours etc.
e.g. */15 * * * * rm -rf /tmp/*
would enmpty your /tmp directory every 15 minutes
