No, I'm not getting any emails from cron at all. I've never seen this
problem on any of my other linux boxes, nor of any of them that I
support at the University. Cron appears to be running. I even
installed anacron as a comparison, and anacron isn't finding any cron
scripts that are not being touched. It looks like cron is touching the
scripts, and is running, but isn't running anything.

If you can run the scripts from the command line then the permissions
are okay.

The scripts can be executed by root and run fine with root. Do they
need to be permissible by anything else? I am not at home at the moment
but I can post the exact permissions on those scripts later.

Have your scripts got the correct permissions?

OK. I found another problem with Mandrake 9.2 that I can solve.
My crontab doesn't run. Below is what my /etc/crontab file looks like.
I have backup routines that are supposed to kick off and create tar
balls of my files. But nothing happens. I don't get any emails from
Cron saying that ran. Any ideas why Cron isn't running?
/etc/crontab:
SHELL=/bin/bash
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
MAILTO=root
HOME=/
# run-parts
01 * * * * root nice -n 19 run-parts /etc/cron.hourly
02 4 * * * root nice -n 19 run-parts /etc/cron.daily
22 4 * * 0 root nice -n 19 run-parts /etc/cron.weekly
42 4 1 * * root nice -n 19 run-parts /etc/cron.monthly 00 3 * * *
