Hiya, thanks a lot for that Will (sorry spelt name wrong before!), think you're reply has almost got there...
If I dos2unix the file it works, if I use vi/m (what I normally use) or nano etc, it doesn't work (but will if I then dos2unix it again)?
SELinux I think is on permissive/targeted (I'm not too familiar with selinux as someone else set it up, but my understanding is that it should allow all, but log/audit it?).
Looks like thats it, but not sure still why its not saving it correctly?
Thanks, Ian
(lsattr shows ------------- logadmin btw)

It looks to me like crond is opening your crontab file OK, it appears
to have read the line then choked on something.
Which editor are you using to edit the crontab? I wonder if it's
something weird in the CR/LF sequences? You could try running dos2unix
on /var/spool/cron/logadmin ? Could it possibly be SELinux? Have you
got SELinux enabled?
I'd also check the extended attributes of all files and directories
invoved in case something's out there (use "lsattr").
Will.
