> My Crontab looks like this:

Which crontab is this really? _Your_ crontab (the one created by running
"crontab -e") or the file /etc/crontab? The syntax for these files is different.

> SHELL=/bin/bash
> PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
> MAILTO=root
> HOME=/

> # run-parts
> 01 * * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.hourly
> 02 4 * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.daily
> 22 4 * * 0 root run-parts /etc/cron.weekly
> 42 4 1 * * root run-parts /etc/cron.monthly

These lines are in /etc/crontab format, and are the cause of the error.

> # run-tasks
> 0 2 * * * /usr/bin/freshclam --quiet -l /var/log/clam-update.log
> 0 3 * * * /var/qmail/bin/qmailstats  1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null

These are in the correct format for user crontab files
Why are you including /etc/crontab lines in your personal crontab?
