I am having a problem running cron tasks, that problem is that they dont run! I get no mail from the cron deamon saying why they dont run, I get no messages in /var/log/messages to say they have run.

Here is a copy of the /etc/crontab

Code:
# Global variables
SHELL=/bin/bash
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
MAILTO=root
HOME=/

# check scripts in cron.hourly, cron.daily, cron.weekly and cron.monthly
*/15 * * * * root test -x /usr/sbin/run-crons && /usr/sbin/run-crons
0 * * * * root rm -f /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.hourly
0 3 * * * root rm -f /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.daily
15 4 * * 6 root rm -f /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.weekly
30 5 1 * * root rm -f /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.monthly
0 8 * * * * root /usr/bin/freshclam -l /var/log/clam-update.log
*/5 * * * * cactiuser php /var/www/localhost/htdocs/cacti/cmd.php
0 4 * * * * root /usr/sbin/logrotate /etc/logrotate.conf
0 9 * * * * root /usr/bin/clamscan -r /home/



The first line test -x /usr/sbin/run-crons && /usr/sbin/run-crons does run, and is logged in the messages file, but nothing else is running, and I cant see why...any one have any ideas? Any help appreciated...

I am using vixie cron, and it is set to run at boot. (And is indeed runing)

Did you put any scripts in /etc/cron.daily, /etc/cron.weekly or whatnot? I'm pretty sure that's where things actually get run.
