for clearness: my crontab is also stored in /var/cron/tabs/root
so the problem exists probably in the command "crontab"
could you please test the following:
as user root:
crontab -e
enter some task
again:
crontab -e
looking, is your task there or not.
on my system it wasn't.
then:
mkdir /var/spool/crontabs
crontab -e (as root)
entering some task
crontab -e
testing, if the task is there.
On my system now it is there and working as _root_
