I had the same problem. It was after I did an upgrade. I found that /etc/crontab had gotten copied somehow to /var/cron/tabs/root. I did get errors of 'root not found'. [or similar]. Check to see if that hasn't happened to you. By any chance had you performed a 'crontab -e' and screwed things up and deleted the cron. /etc/crontab runs the daily scripts you should be getting. Having that also in /var/cron/tabs made my daily messages go away.
