My crontab looks ok:

 

SHELL=/bin/bash

PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

MAILTO=root

22 4 * * 0 root run-parts /etc/cron.weekly

42 4 1 * * root run-parts /etc/cron.monthly

 

The error makes me believe that cron isn't finding /bin/bash which is listed as the shell.  I am going to try /bin/sh


I would check your scripts in your directories and insure that you have chmod u-x and granted them the proper permissions.

I meant chmod u+x,  not u-x.
