I solved the problem. My file ownership was messed up, probably because I've edited some of the files in etc.lrp on a desktop Linux system in the process of setting up to run on Soekris and WRAP boxes. The fix was to run the commands chown -R root /etc/cron* chgrp -R root /etc/cron* then backup etc.lrp and reboot. With that done, commands in /etc/crontab are being run when scheduled.
