Hi there --
I went through the /var/log/messages and checked root's mail, and there was
nothing to indicate a problem. I verified that crond was running.

There has to be some sort of message or reason you think a job isn't
running? Is there anything in /var/log/messages (search for cron) often
times when a cron job fails an email gets sent to root, does that
message say anything?
