Possibly because your /etc/passwd doesn't exist or has no entry for
the user you are logged in as.

It depends upon the cron daemon which I don't believe is standard with
cygwin (but I meybe wrong). I suggest you search the archives for cron
to gain more info.

man 5 crontab describes the crontab format. man 1 crontab describes
how to install your crontab in the system so that cron will use it. Again this is for
a Unix system, for cygwin, check the archives.
