Just an idea: RH 6.1 uses 'linuxconf' by default, and "takes over" crontab functions and will rewrite the crontab file "against your will" if you just do a 'crontab -e -u root' and edit it manually, it might be getting over written. So, you might want to check in linuxconf to see if it has control over it there and make your changes from there.
