Ahhh.... that's it !!! 
My /etc/crontab is all wrong. It contains a 'custom' cron job for root that's 
supposed to be in /var/spool/cron/root. I am not surehow this happened 
though, for as far as I can remember, I usually use kcron to edit crontabs. I 
must have not had my morning coffee when I did this.... . I guess I am going 
to trace this from my backups.....
Thank you !
