Still got the error bounce this morning. Here are two files. Root's
crontab without all the comments "grep -v ^# /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root"

MAILTO=""
30 03 * * * /root/bin/bkup

And /etc/crontab

# /etc/crontab: system-wide crontab
# Unlike any other crontab you don't have to run the `crontab'
# command to install the new version when you edit this file
# and files in /etc/cron.d. These files also have username fields,
# that none of the other crontabs do.

MAILTO=""
SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
