When I run crontab -e and edit the file on saving the file I get the following message:

"Crontab: installing new crontab
"/tmp/crontabk.12473":1 bad minute
errors in crontab file, can't install.
Do you want to retry the same edit?

Looks like you've got the format wrong somewhere - 'man 5 crontab'.
