That sounds a little like /usr/bin/crontab is not executable due to
problems in shared libraries or ldconfig version.
What happens if you say:
ldd /usr/bin/crontab
I get:
libc.so.6 => /lib/i686/libc.so.6 (0x40031000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
You could also try:
strace /usr/bin/crontab -l
and see what kind of errors happen near the end.
