If you haven't checked already, be sure /etc/cron.allow and /etc/cron.deny are not unexpectedly populated. These files are explained in the manpages for crontab(1).
From what you've explained, that does not sound like it's the problem, though. If you have any other recollections of system changes between 'working' and 'broken' that might help establish cause and effect, please share.
