This isn't the same problem as reported and "resolved" a few days
ago where the editor in question is emacs,
Steve,
Which editor are you using? If you are using emacs, check that it
overwrites the file in-place (I know vi does). God help you if you're
using Notepad. ;-)
This problem has come up quite a few times in the recent past, as
searching the archives for 'crontab' would have shown you. For exa

Somehow, the cron.sh script did not get run during your installation.
Here is what it does:
#!/bin/sh
set -x
if [ ! -d /var/cron ]
then
mkdir -p /var/cron
fi
chmod 1777 /var/cron
if [ ! -d /var/cron/tabs ]
then
mkdir /var/cron/tabs
fi
chmod 1777 /var/cron/tabs
