Default Cron running but not working

Hello,

Two of my CentOS machines are affected with a very strange disease. After removing a few faulty lines that caused errors in my logs in one user's crontab, my other scripts ran by cron stopped being ran.

However, it looks much like cron is running...
Code:
# service crond status
crond (pid 23242) is running...
# ps auwx | grep crond
root     23242  0.0  0.0   5264  1108 ?        Ss   Jul15   0:00 crond
root     26436  0.0  0.0   3912   664 pts/1    S+   10:16   0:00 grep crond
And there is nothing (and I mean nothing) in my logs to help me find the cause of this problem.
Code:
Jul 15 16:16:54 webcam01 crond[23242]: (CRON) STARTUP (V5.0)
Any ideas?

Thanks.
