Cron Job every 5 minutes?

Hi All...

I'm trying to get a Cron job to run on or OS X server (10.4.9) every five minutes. I've added it to the system crontab (/etc/crontab), but it simply does not run. My system crontab looks something like this:

The periodic and atrun jobs have moved to launchd jobs
# See /System/Library/LaunchDaemons
#
# minute hour mday month wday who command
*/2 * * * * root sh /<path toscript>

Cron is running in the background, so I'm at a loss as to why the script refuses to run. Any clues here would be greatly appreciated!

Mac OS X (10.4.9)
