Playing with crontab and can't get the entry to execute.

Cron running, top shows
734 root          1   8    0  3212K  1288K nanslp 1   0:00  0.00% cron

crontab -l shows
0-59/5  *       *       *       *       /usr/home/fwc/temp/timestamps

Crontabs file under
/var/cron/tabs
shows
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall.
# (/tmp/crontab.2PvlqUcoLo installed on Sun Mar  7 18:53:53 2010)
# (Cron version -- $FreeBSD: src/usr.sbin/cron/crontab/crontab.c,v 
1.24.6.1 2008/11/25 02:59:29 kensmith Exp $)
0-59/5  *       *       *       *       /usr/home/fwc/temp/timestamps

The 'timestamps' script is
#!/bin/sh
date >> cronout
and it will execute from the command line.

Permissions are
-rwxr--r--  1 fwc  fwc        27 Mar  7 18:13 timestamps*

I've even tried restarting the machine.
She no work. Ideas?
