did you add it with 

# crontab -e

as root?

from the cron(1) man page, cron examines the crontab files at startup and
also if the /var/cron/tabs directory modtime has changed.  Note that
direct editing of /var/cron/tabs/root does not change the directory
modtime.  crontab(1) does change the directory modtime and thus makes cron
re-read the crontab files.

Hope this helps.
