Found it. I went looking for "tabs" and found it.

I'm only in the passwd file once:

So, I saved a copy of my crontab with -l. I then did a -r.
The .../tabs/Vidiot was then removed, I then did a -e and read in the contents
of the saved file and reset the entry to touch the file in /tmp.
Same damn error. It isn't the wrong file owner. It belongs to Vidiot:None and
is 644.
So, in desperation, I reinstalled again, this time setting it to run as me.
I do not get the wrong file owner error anymore. This time it says RELOAD
(tabs/Vidiot), yet it STILL refuses to run the entry, any entry. I set one
of the jobs I normally do and it wouldn't start it.
Why is 1.7 having so much trouble with this when 1.5 didn't?
