Dear Kerry, That sounds strange and could cause some unexpected issues. Technically you should put the cron jobs in the cron tab of the user who owns the DSpace installation directory (ie, where the code is deployed, not the source folder). In my case this is the `dspace` user, which is probably also the user you are running Tomcat as. The reason is that the cron jobs read and write files, indexes, logs, etc to the DSpace installation directory so if the jobs are running as a user without permissions there they will fail.
Hope that helps!
