I have created a cron job and while logged in as root the scipt runs fine but if I configure crontab like contab -u root -e the job does not run. I do see the job start in /var/log/syslog The way that I know the job does not work sucessfully is becuase part of the job is to send out an email and that is not working unless running it at the command prompt as root.
