This may be due to the cron(1) daemon not working correctly.  I was
unable to get my 4.3.2 cron(1) to work under VMS 4.7+ and reported it to
TWG support.   They've acknowledged the problem and are working on it.

I suggest putting some simple commands in /usr/lib/crontab and seeing if they
work.  If they do, would you please tell me.
