You're totally off. :) The crontab entry quoted above is malformed; it looks to me like you or something else has taken a line from /etc/crontab and copied it straight into another crontab file. However, /etc/crontab has a special syntax: it has an extra field for the username, that is "root" above. When you use lines like that in other crontab files you need to remove the username field.
