The work machine doesn't seem to be recognizing changes made to cron files in /etc/cron.d, that is, a RELOAD of the changed file never happens and doesn't show in the log. I basically have to rccron restart to get the cron daemon to use the new file.
What command are you issueing to edit cron?
Not sure if this is relevant or not, but I just noticed that the directory timestamp changed on the box that works, but doesn't seem to change on the box that doesn't work.
