I verified that cron indeed works by manually putting a crontab file at 
/var/cron/tabs/$USER .

So, it seems that crontab tries to change the effective uid, which doesn't 
work for normal (or even Administrator) users.  Is this 
necessary?  Wouldn't this mean that crontab works for nobody, unless you 
add some (dangerous) rights to these users?
/usr/doc/Cygwin/cron.README doesn't mention anything about this.

Any ideas?  Does anyone have crontab working?

Thanks in advance,
