Thanks Kevin. That did the trick. I didn't have vcron in my default run level. I could have sworn I had done this, but I guess I didn't.
Ran the rc-update command, and did a /etc/init.d/vcron start, and things started happening right...

If this is a Gentoo box, did you rc-update add the appropriate cron daemon to the default runlevel? ls -alh should show a link inside /etc/runlevels/default. On my system, I'm using vcron, so there's a vcron entry there. You'll see similar problems if this hasn't been added. Otherwise, it looks right. crontab -e is used to edit the cron table, so you're using the right command to put things in there. crontab -l lists the contents of the current cron table, and crontab -r removes it entirely. -r is a stupid option I'd say, but then cron was thought up by smarter people than me, so whatever...
