That looks fine, except that all the XXXPrivelege rights should
XXXPrivilege, AFAIK. Was that a cut and paste or a retype?
Use editrights to list the privileges of  cron_x.

Cron-diagnose was not designed for 2k3, so it's useless there.
My advice is to run cron-config. When prompted say that want
to reinstall the service.
It will prompt you for a user to run under, just say cron_x
I forgot if it will reset the privileges or keep them as they are.
