Please run the cron_diagnose.sh
script to see if it can identify
any problems with your cron set
up and related files.  The latest
version of this script can be found
at:

http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2004-03/msg00379.html

Please read the output of this script
carefully.  You may need to run it
several times.  It stops each time
it finds a problem.
