 After some off list back and forth, Alan determined that the problem was

Was this on a Solaris box? I've had problems with them lately not allowing cron jobs to run under a specific userid, even if they were in the /etc/cron.allow list, unless the user had a valid password hash and a valid shell.

One of the more screwed-up things I've seen from a Solaris box lately, I tell you....
