This sounds like a permission problem. Do you have a cron.allow and
cron.deny file? This will say who can and can't access the crontab.
Secondly, the convention is to have a crontab file for each user.
/usr/spool/cron/crontabs should have a file for paul if user paul wants
to use the cron service. The crontab -e simply opens an editor for
the file assigned to that user. The other problem is that if
you have turned off su access from the user then that user can not set
the uid to root and therefore would no be able to access the crontab file.
