[Tfug] cron jobs not running as root

[elemint at theriver.com]

I have created a cron job and while logged in as root the scipt runs 
fine but if I configure crontab like contab -u root -e the job does not 
run.
I do see the job start in /var/log/syslog

The way that I know the job does not work sucessfully is becuase part of 
the job is to send out an email and that is not working unless running 
it at the command prompt as root.
