Ye, cron-config is the way to go. I used on my last install and thanks to
Pierre, it solved my problem.
Another point I would like to make here is that Igor needs to be a bit more
kind in his reply. It doesn't help if you make people feel stupid. Not
everyone is an EXPERT like you.
Anyway thanks Pierre for your help and contributions.

cron_diagnose.sh was not designed for Win2003 and is not a good
diagnostic tool there. It won't catch all permissions issues and may raise
false alarms.
As far as I know, all the tests performed by cron_diagnose.sh are
included in cron-config. 
We should stop pointing to cron_diagnose.sh, except possibly in a
case (I have not seen one yet) where cron-config does not produce
a working cron environment. If that happens, it would be helpful to
report precisely what was wrong and how it had to be fixed.
